Brazil’s journey in the Copa America 2024 has been a mix of ups and downs, culminating in a 1-1 draw against Colombia in the final group stage match. Despite securing a spot in the knockout stages, a silly foul from Vini has put the Selecao two steps backward.

The match saw a sensational direct free kick from Raphinha saving Brazil from defeat, but the team’s performance was lackluster for most of the game. Colombia, on the other hand, continued their impressive form, with James Rodriguez leading the charge.

Colombia topped the group, while Brazil settled for second place, setting up a quarterfinal clash with Uruguay. However, Brazil will have to navigate the knockout stages without Vinicius Jr, who will be suspended due to accumulated yellow cards.

With both teams advancing, the focus now shifts to the knockouts, where Brazil will need to regroup and make up for the absence of their star attacker. Despite the setback, the Selecao remains a formidable force in the tournament, and fans can expect an exciting showdown in the quarterfinals.
