The Samba boys of Brazil ended their quest at the ongoing 2024 Copa America on a disappointing note after their quarter-final defeat in the game vs Uruguay.
Uruguay won the match in a penalty shootout to advance to the Copa America semi-fnals in the United States, after the game ended goalless on Saturday, July 7, 2024.
Brazil vs Uruguay always comes with a lot of talking points, this latest encounter saw La Celeste finish the 90 minutes with ten players due to Nahitan Nández's red card in the 74th minute, after VAR called Argentine referee Darío Herrera to review a foul by the Uruguayan on Brazil's Rodrygo, initially given a yellow card.
Éder Militão and Douglas Luiz missed their penalties for Brazil, while Fede Valverde, Rodrigo Bentancur, Giorgian de Arrascaeta, and Manuel Ugarte scored for La Celeste, with José María Giménez being the only one to miss.
This result will validate the complains that some of Brazil's ex-internationals concerning the performance of how these current set of players have failed to live up to expectations whenever they play for the Brazil.
