USMNT beats Paraguay to reach Copa America Centenario quarterfinals

PHILADELPHIA – It was nervy, but the United States men's national team is into the quarterfinals of the Copa America Centenario.

After a 2-0 loss to Colombia in their tournament opener, a 4-0 win against Costa Rica put them back on track. And on Saturday, the Yanks capped their group stage with a redeeming 1-0 victory over Paraguay on a Clint Dempsey goal, in spite of playing almost the entire second half with just 10 men. They were later rewarded the top spot in Group A thanks to Costa Rica's 3-2 upset of Colombia, setting up a Thursday quarterfinal in Seattle with the Group B runner-up.
