The action kicked off on Sunday with two great matchups right from the start. First Brazil handled Venezuela, 3-0.
That match was followed by Colombia vs. Ecuador, which resulted in a 1-0 win for Colombia.

Now, on to the top moments from Sunday's games, with the most recent action listed first.
Edwin Cardona was initially called offside on this pretty goal.
But VAR confirmed the score as Colombia took a 1-0 first-half lead.
It was also a nice moment for the man who set up the goal.
Aside from the one goal, and the following cute little move, there wasn't a lot of action in the contest, which ended in a 1-0 win for Colombia.
The host team nearly got on the board just 10 minutes into the game, with the header sliding just wide.
Brazil kept the pressure on, however, and notched the game's first goal just 12 minutes later, with defender Marquinhos getting crafty with his heel off the corner kick.
Brazil nearly got another, with Neymar just missing a shot he often buries.
While Venezuela was keeping the score close, Brazil's lack of scoring had nothing to do with Neymar's playmaking abilities.
And Neymar was sooooo close to doubling Brazil's lead early in the second half.
About 10 minutes later, Danilo drew a penalty in the box, setting up a PK for Neymar, who calmly drilled it make it 2-0.
It was Neymar's 67th goal in just 106 games playing for his country. Pele holds the Brazil record, with 77 goals in 92 games.
Neymar's playmaking ability came into play again in the 89th minute, when he put the ball right onto Gabriel Barbosa's chest, who put it in the open net to make it 3-0.
