The team plays an uninspired game, fails to get the result needed to finish first and will face Uruguay

On a day of little inspiration, Brazil only drew 1-1 with Colombia this Tuesday in Santa Marta, California, and finished the first phase of the Copa América in second place in Group D. The Colombians, with two wins and one draw, took first place. Raphinha, with a free kick, scored for the national team, while Muñoz scored - both in the first half. Brazil will face Uruguay in the quarterfinals.

Problem for Brazil

The Brazilian team will have a major absence for the match against Uruguay in the quarterfinals: Viniciur Junior received a yellow card on Tuesday and will have to serve a suspension

Brazil, who finished second, will face Uruguay, who finished first in Group C, in the quarterfinals. The game will be on Saturday at 10 pm (Brasília time). Colombia will face Panama, who finished second in Group C, at 7 pm on Saturday.

Uninspired

After a victory over Paraguay in which they showed improvement, the Brazilian team had a lackluster performance against Colombia. Dorival Junior's team failed to get the ball rolling and were controlled by the Colombians for most of the time. Colombia had more shots on goal (13 to 7) and ended the match with chants of "olé!" from their fans.

In a fight with the referee

The Brazilian team was not happy with the refereeing performance of the match. There were several incidents that caused complaints, but the main one was in the 42nd minute of the first half, when Vinicius Junior fell in the area after a challenge with Muñoz and asked for a penalty. The referee let the game continue

Colombia's great phase

The Colombian national team has extended its unbeaten streak in official matches. It is now 26 matches without losing. The last defeat was in February 2022, in the World Cup qualifiers, when it lost 3-0 to Argentina. Since then, it has won 20 and drawn six.

The goals of the game

Brazil opened the scoring in the 11th minute, with Raphinha taking a perfect free kick into the top corner of Vargas' goal. Still in the first half, in the 47th minute, Colombia equalized with Muñoz passing past Alisson
