Already qualified for the quarter-finals of the Copa America, Brazil turns against Ecuador. We can find holders of Ligue 1 holders like Marquinhos, Fabinho and Paqueta. While Ecuador should absolutely not lose or hope for a victory for Peru against Venezuela, to hope for a qualification.
BRAZIL LEADS WITHOUT SHINING
During the first period, the two teams do not manage to obtain clear opportunities. Brazil dominate this first act, with 71% possession of the ball, but she can’t seem to be sharper with just 3 shots. The equator is too weak technically to endanger the defense of the Seleçao. It takes a magnificent header from Militao, on a free kick from Cebolinha to put Brazil in front at the break (37th). The Real Madrid defender scores his first goal in the national team.
ECUADOR SAVES!
Ecuador returns to the field to decide to equalize and qualify for the rest of the competition. Twenty minutes of great domination are rewarded by the equalizer of Mena who takes half a volley a header from her captain and also man of the match, Valencia (53rd).

Gustavo Alfaro’s men are getting more and more chances, the Brazilian midfielder and defense are suffering a lot. Tite will then bring in Casemiro to try to bring serenity in the middle, then Vinicius to give rhythm and speed to his team (63rd). The changes have almost paid off, since on his first ball Vinicius misses the target to put Brazil in front (66th). In the end, the teams parted with a score of 1-1 everywhere. Brazil still has not lost in this competition and Ecuador manages to qualify for the quarter-finals.
MEANWHILE …
The other match of the day opposed Peru to Venezuela (1-0), with this defeat Venezuela is last in group B and is eliminated from this Copa América. While Peru grab the second in the group behind Brazil.
The group stage group B comes to an end with this fifth and final day, Brazil, Peru, Colombia and Ecuador will play the quarter-finals which will begin on the night from Friday to Saturday.
