Uruguay secured a landmark victory over Brazil in the Copa America quarterfinals, advancing to the semifinals with a 4-2 penalty kick win after a scoreless draw. The match was marred by fouls and physical play, with Uruguay's Nahitan Nández receiving a red card. Despite the lack of goals, Uruguay's coach Marcelo Bielsa emphasized the team's defensive efforts and effective opportunities. Brazil, missing key players like Neymar and Vinícius Júnior, struggled to break through Uruguay's defense. Both teams played cautiously and contentiously, culminating in a penalty shootout where Uruguay emerged victorious. Bielsa's team's victory marks the first time Uruguay has beaten Brazil in back-to-back matches since 1992. The win sends Uruguay to face Colombia in the semifinals, while defending champion Argentina will face Canada in the other semifinal. Brazil, despite never trailing in the tournament, is headed home after a disappointing offensive performance.
