Brazil FC
Colombia, a team that missed out on the 2022 World Cup, has a strong record in Copa America dating back to the late 1980s. They have reached the semifinal round eight times in 15 tournaments since 1987, winning the tournament in 2001. Colombia’s lone Copa crown is in question, but it is expected that they could lose to Panama in the quarterfinals. Colombia has been better than Brazil on Tuesday, and Argentina is expected to emerge from the other side of the bracket. Colombia’s attacking threat continued after the break, and they nearly completed the turnaround with Rafael Borré’s goal. However, Vargas’ smart save prevented Brazil from securing the top spot. A spot secured through a dramatic last-gasp winner, as they joined their opponents in the last eight.
Meanwhile, Brazil, have reached the group stage for the 14th time in their last 15 appearances. Additionally, they have equalled their longest unbeaten streak in the opening phase at 10 matches. However, coach Dorival is concerned about their lack of sharpness in front of goal.
