Rio de Janeiro – The first knockout round of the Copa America takes on the tension of the European Football Championship. The hosts Brazil, who were sovereign in the preliminary round, trembled in a minority with a 1-0 (0-0) against Chile in the semifinals against Peru. The Andean team knocked out Paraguay 4: 3 on penalties (3: 3 nV) in the round of the last eight.
Both teams will now meet on Monday in the new edition of the last final, which Brazil also won 3-1 at home in 2019, and also repeat the group opener, which Neymar and Co. clearly won 4-0 a good two weeks ago. The second semi-final on Tuesday will be played by the winners of Saturday’s games Uruguay against Colombia and Argentina against Ecuador.
The game becomes a tremendous game
On the lawn of the Nilton Santos Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, which had been criticized since the start of the tournament, Lucas Paqueta from France’s top club Olympique Lyon found the only gap in Chile’s defense shortly after his substitution at break on a pass from Neymar. But when Gabriel Jesus, attacker for England’s champions Manchester City, saw the red card shortly afterwards (49th) after a kung-fu performance, the duel against the Copa America winners of 2015 and 2016 was a tremendous game.
