Group D at Copa America 2024 might seem like a race between South American heavyweights Brazil and Colombia, but Paraguay and Costa Rica have shown they are more than capable of making things interesting in a major tournament. Given Brazil’s inconsistent form and Colombia’s propensity to underachieve in big competitions, this group could actually be more open than the odds suggest.
Here’s a look at the standings and results from Group D at Copa America 2024.
Group D Standings
Colombia, 1-0-0, 3 points, +1 GD
Brazil, 0-1-0, 1 point, 0 GD
Costa Rica, 0-1-0, 1 point, 0 GD
Paraguay, 0-0-1, 0 points, -1 GD
Group D Results
Colombia 2, Paraguay 1
My pick as Group D winner got off to a strong start against Paraguay with two goals in the first half. Jefferson Lerma’s header withstood a review and would ultimately prove to be the difference, as Paraguay found a goal in the second half thanks to a great run and tap-in from Julio Enciso. Colombia could’ve gotten a third goal but a potential penalty was overturned. Eventually, Colombia was able to see the game out and secure three points in Group D.
Brazil 0, Costa Rica 0
It didn’t take long for the upsets to start happening in Copa America. Brazil was a heavy favorite in this game but simply could not find the back of the net. VAR ruled one goal offside but Brazil should’ve done better with the massive advantage it created in this game. Costa Rica comes away with a crucial point, while Brazil will go back to the drawing board after an underwhelming result despite dominating.
