6' GOAL! Uruguay 1-0 Ecuador (Lodeiro)
It's 1-0 courtesy of a brilliant solo strike from Lodeiro! He takes a pass from Suarez and chests in down smartly, before lifting his second touch around a defender to open up a shooting lane, and dragging a delightful finish into the far corner! What a start!
23' Red Card! Quinteros sent off
Ecuador are down to 10 men! It's all gone horribly wrong for them in this first half! A goal down and now a man down, as the referee decides to give Quintero his marching orders, La Tricolor have it all to do here.
33' GOAL! Uruguay 2-0 Ecuador (Cavani)
Cavani has his goal, and it's of the absolute highest quality as he makes it 2-0! A ball is swung in to the far post where Godin meets it, heading it back into the danger area for Cavani, who guides a thrillingly acrobatic overhead kick into the top corner! Outstanding!
44' GOAL! Uruguay 3-0 Ecuador (Suarez)
Suarez gets in on the act, reacting quickest to pounce on the loose ball at the far post following a corner. There's no way back for Ecuador now.
78' OWN GOAL! Uruguay 4-0 Ecuador (Mina)
A ball over the top was chested back into the danger area by Pereiro, where Mina embarrassingly runs into it, sending a looping effort over his keeper and into the back of the net! It's a real head in hands moment for him.
Match Report
Uruguay got their Copa America campaign off to a perfect start, beating a 10-man Ecuador 4-0 in Belo Horizonte on Sunday.
Nicolas Lodeiro had given Oscar Tabarez's men a sixth-minute lead before Jose Quintero was sent off for Ecuador.
That made an already difficult task even tougher and Uruguay capitalised on their numerical advantage in the first half through goals from star duo Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez.
