Vinicius Jr. will miss the Uruguay vs Brasil 2024 Copa America Knockout Stage match after picking up his second yellow card of Copa América.
2024 Copa America Knockout Stage Uruguay meets Brasil in the Quarter Finals. They are set to meet on 7th of July at 02:00 am (BST)..
The upcoming quarterfinals match between Uruguay vs Brasil promises to be a thrilling encounter, likely to go down on the books of football history.
This match is the first encounter between Uruguay and Brazil in the Copa America in 17 years.
Notably, in this encounter Vinícius Jr, a key player, will not be participating as he picked up his second yellow card during the match against Colombia.
Uruguay vs Brasil is one of the most storied rivalries in the history of football. This is a rivalry
that spans over 100 years. While the Uruguayan team is already in their top form, the Brazilian
squad is gradually finding their rhythm in the game.
The Uruguay vs. Brasil match would have showcased a great duel between Valverde and
Vinicius Jr., both from Real Madrid. However, with Vinicius Jr.’s suspension, Brazil’s attacking
strength has diminished, giving Uruguay a better chance of winning this match.
These two teams haven’t met in the Copa America since their semi-final clash in 2007, where
Brazil emerged victorious in a penalty shootout.
Brazilian coach Dorival needs to get the attacking lineup right for this match. Will he start with Endrick, or will he position Raphinha on the left wing and add Savio to the right wing?
Brazil faces a significant risk of being eliminated in this match. Although Uruguay appeared a bit
shaky during their game against the USA, they will be well-prepared.
Additionally, there will be no extra time in the knockout stages of Copa America, except for the final.
If a match ends in a draw after regular time, it will go directly to a penalty shootout.
Argentina vs Ecuador, Venezuela vs Canada, Colombia vs Panama and Uruguay vs Brasil are the quarter finals matches.
The winner of these matches will face off against each other in the semifinals.
Uruguay vs Colombia is arguably the tournament game if both teams get through
their match.
Date, Kick-Off Time and Venue
The match is scheduled for Saturday 7th of July at 02:00 am (BST) at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
