Brazil got a passport to the quarter-finals of the Copa America

Brazil got a passport to the quarterfinals of the Copa America. The Brazil-Colombia match ended 1-1 on Wednesday. Brazil finished in the last eight as the second team to win just one match in the group. If Brazil had won that day, they would have faced a relatively easy opponent, Panama, in the quarterfinals as the champions of the ‘D’ group. But Brazil’s opponent in the quarter is now Uruguay.

The two goals scored in the match were both in the first half. Brazilian winger Rafinha scored a great goal from a free kick in the 12th minute. Colombia’s Munoz equalized just before the break. Panama faces Colombia in the quarterfinals as they top the group. The match between Brazil and Colombia was filled with attacks and counter-attacks. In the 83rd minute, Colombia squandered a golden opportunity to score a goal. Rafael Borre could not score even after getting the Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson alone. After getting the goal, Brazil had to leave the field with their heads down.

From the beginning of this day, Brazil and Colombia took the path of attacking football. In the beginning, Colombia, but the post of Brazil shakes. Colombian captain Hames shook Brazil from a free kick of about 35 yards in 8 minutes. After this, another great free kick was seen by the spectators. With that free kick, Brazil went ahead. Rafinha took a free kick from about 30 yards away. The footballers of both teams clashed in a high-tempered game.

Brazilian midfielder Joao Gomez and Colombian midfielder Jefferson were shown yellow cards. It lasted for a long time. The argument continues between the two. Colombia equalized just before the break. Munoz equalized with Cordoba’s. Before the quarterfinals, the Brazil camp is worried. A yellow card shows that Vinicius is not in the last eight.
