The 2024 Copa América tournament reaches a crucial stage on Saturday, with a highly anticipated quarterfinal clash between football giants Brazil and Uruguay in Las Vegas.
Brazil’s quarterfinal journey took an unexpected turn, as it will be without star player Vinicius Junior, who has been sidelined due to a series of yellow cards in the group stage. The absence of the outspoken Real Madrid forward, who has been critical of referees and officials, is a significant loss that could potentially reshape the game’s dynamics.
Uruguay will enter the quarterfinal match with a morale boost after its 1-0 victory over the United States in Kansas City. The win, which led to the early exit of the USMNT from the tournament on its home turf, was marked by a goal from Mathias Olivera. The goal, initially under dispute, was eventually validated by the video assistant referee, adding a dramatic twist to the match.

Uruguay
Uruguay, the second-smallest nation at the Copa America, has a rich history of soccer success. The country has clinched two World Cup victories and 15 Copa America titles. What’s more, Uruguay is currently on a red-hot four-game winning streak, with its last loss dating back to March 2024, when it was defeated 2-1 by Ivory Coast in an international friendly.
Brazil
Brazil’s recent performances in the Copa America have been nothing short of spectacular. It has qualified in all 47 tournaments and has won nine titles, including the 2019 championship. Its runner-up finish in 2021, although not a victory, is a testament to its consistent form and the excitement they bring to the tournament.
The rivalry between Brazil and Uruguay is a saga of intense battles on the football field. They have clashed 79 times, with Brazil leading the series with 40 wins to Uruguay’s 22, and 17 games ending in a draw.
