Moments before Uruguay and Mexico were set to kick off in Sunday night's COPA America match at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, the national anthem of both nations was played throughout the stadium.
Just one problem...
Hearing that wasn't the Uruguayan national anthem. Uruguayan press not at all happy in the press box. Rightly so.

Turns out it was the national anthem of Chile, rather than the Uruguayan anthem, that was played.

UOP Stadium's sound person may want to lay low for a while.
To make matters worse for the Uruguayans, they went on to lose to Mexico thanks to a pair of late goals.
