Uruguay beat Paraguay 3-0 Sunday in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to win the 2011 Copa America.
It was the 15th title in the tournament in the country's history.
Luis Suarez put Uruguay on the board in the 12th minute. He found himself with the ball in the box, got away from the defender on the right, and put it in off his left foot.
In the 42nd minute, star striker Diego Forlan finally broke his goal drought. He received a long ball as he was running into the box. Paraguay goalkeeper Justo Villa came out to block him, but Forlan put the strike in the other direction and into the net.
Forlan got his second goal in the 90th minute, when he received a magnificent pass off the head of Edinson Cavani, and snuck it off his left foot to put Uruguay up for good 3-0.
