Norwich City centre-back Jose Cordoba helped Panama to a 3-1 win over Bolivia last night, securing their place in the Copa America quarter-finals.

They knocked out their US hosts in the process, who lost 1-0 to Uruguay despite Josh Sargent’s late cameo.

The Canaries striker came on for the final 25 minutes of the game, having struggled with injury during preparation for the tournament, but couldn't make the difference in a shock early dumping from the tournament.

Mathias Olivera got the match-winner midway through the second half, but Panama's victory meant Gregg Berhalter's side needed a win in any case.

Sargent will now have an extended break before returning to Colney to reunite with his club-mates, many of whom started pre-season training this week.

Questions remain over the fitness of the 24-year-old, who was nursed through the second half of the Championship campaign after suffering a serious ankle injury in August 2023.

His training schedule had to managed to ensure he was available for games, but fans and club will hope he now gets a long enough break to properly heal going into the 2024-25 season.

Whether he'll be playing in a Norwich shirt is another part of the equation, with speculation persisting around a potential move. Daniel Farke's Leeds United have been consistently linked, while Brentford were one of multiple Premier League clubs touted with a move in May.

Cordoba is certain to be at Carrow Road at the end of the transfer window, having been signed just last month from Bulgarian side Levski Sofia.

A series of impressive performances have his new fans eager to see him in the flesh, the latest of which was the defeat of Bolivia.

The 23-year-old played the full 90 minutes at the centre of a back three, with Jose Fajardo opening the scoring. Bruno Miranda equalised for La Verde in the 69th minute, but late strikes from Eduardo Guerrero and Cesar Yanis ensured an historic victory for Thomas Christiansen's side.

They'll play their quarter-final on Saturday at 11pm (UK time), when they'll travel to Arizona hoping to cause another upset.
