A curious yet shameful incident happened today prior to the start of the Copa América Centenario match between Mexico and Uruguay, as Uruguay's National Anthem was confused with Chile's National Anthem.
After El Tri's fans sang their most famous song, Uruguay's players looked confused during the opening ceremony. Particularly, goalkeeper Fernando Muslera and Diego Godín exchanged a few words that were caught on camera, as both Uruguayans noticed there was something wrong.
Have a look at how players reacted to this embarrassing moment.
¡QUE PAPELÓN!
