jpnn.com – This is the excuse given by Brazilian coach Dorival Junior when he saw his team fall in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Copa America, Sunday (7/7/2024).
The Samba Team’s ambition to qualify for the semifinals was thwarted by Uruguay.
The duel between the two South American giants ended in a 0-0 draw in normal time.
Brazil actually had a chance to win after Uruguay played with 10 men in the 74th minute.
Uruguay midfielder Nahitan Nandez was sent off after committing a serious foul.
However, Brazil could not take advantage of the superior player situation. The Samba team actually got worse when the match continued to the penalty round.
Brazil’s two kickers Eder Militao and Douglas Luiz failed to fulfill their duties. On the other hand, only one Uruguayan executioner failed to penetrate the Samba Team’s goal, namely their captain, Jose Maria Gimenez.
The situation made Brazil lose 2-4 to Uruguay in the penalty shootout. The Samba team had to end its adventure in the 2024 Copa America.
