Bielsa’s team is heroic: they contain the Seleçao even when the VAR leaves them one man less (Nandez sent off), the new Juventus player (post) and Militao makes mistakes from the spot. Colombia is passing Panama
Another failure. Brazil bid farewell to the Copa America, beaten by Uruguay on penalties. Militao and new Juventus player Douglas Luiz make mistakes from the spot. And the Seleçao also regrets that it played with a numerical superiority in the 74th minute after the dismissal of Nandez. For Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay it is the return to the semi-finals after 13 years.
Uruguay – Brazil 0-0 (4-2, dCR)
—
Brazil have to do without their best man Vinicius, who is suspended. Endrick plays first striker with Rodrygo and Raphinha on his side. In Uruguay, Nandez is a full-back and the “Neapolitan” Olivera is a central defender. The game is fair but there is a lack of opportunity. Both national teams share possession and think more about containment than attack. Only the high notes are in the first half. In the 35th minute the green and gold defense forgot about Nunez and took the lead with a header from an excellent position. On the reversal in front, Raphinha seems in front of Rochet, but with his right foot he shoots weak and central. In the 74th minute, Nandez’s hammer entered Rodrygo’s ankle. The referee draws the yellow, the VAR calls it back, straight red. Brazil does not benefit from it. Uruguay defends as a unit and takes it to penalties, where they win. Valverde, Bentancur, De Arrascaeta and Ugarte, author of the decisive penalty, were perfect. In the Seleçao, Militao (save) and Douglas Luiz (post) make mistakes. The goals from Pereira and Martinelli are useless.
Colombia – Panama 5-0
—
At State Farm Stadium we see goal practice. Too much Colombia for Panama who found themselves in 41 minutes already 3-0 down. Once again the cover belongs to James Rodriguez, the author of the second goal from a penalty and two goals, the first to Cordoba (header), the second to Luis Diaz, great with a dive to overtake Mosquera and score the hat-trick just before the. the interval. Panama stayed out as long as they could, hitting the post with Farina in the 19th minute and only fouling Vargas’ hands once with a shot from distance. The second half of Colombia’s management, spread in the last twenty minutes. In the 70th minute a fireball from Rios made it 4-0, in the 94th minute Borja scored, from the penalty spot, the five points that reached the semi-final round. However, the Panama tour is historic. For James, it was another complete performance that earned him his third America’s Cup MVP title in four games played.
