A thrilling South American showdown awaits at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas this Saturday as Uruguay faces Brazil in the Copa America 2024 quarterfinals. The winner will advance to the semifinals to play against either Colombia or Panama.
Uruguay have been outstanding in the tournament, winning all three group games with an impressive 9-1 aggregate score. They started with a 3-1 victory over Panama, followed by a 5-0 thrashing of Bolivia, and secured the top spot in Group C with a 1-0 win against the USA, thanks to Mathias Olivera’s 66th-minute goal.
Coach Marcelo Bielsa, banned from the touchline during the USA match, has led Uruguay to a strong performance, with 10 wins in his 15 games since taking over last year. Uruguay, with 15 Copa America titles, hopes to end their quarterfinal exit streak from recent tournaments.

Brazil, under coach Dorival Junior, finished second in Group D after a 1-1 draw with Colombia. Raphinha’s early free-kick was cancelled out by Daniel Munoz. Brazil also had a 0-0 draw with Costa Rica and a 4-1 victory over Paraguay.
Despite being unbeaten under Dorival, Brazil has drawn four of their seven matches and seeks to reclaim their form to reach the semifinals. They aim to capture their tenth Copa America title after a runner-up finish in 2021.
With Uruguay in top form and Brazil’s strong Copa America history, this quarterfinal promises to be an exciting contest.
