The encounter between Brazil and Uruguay at the 2024 Copa America ended in a forgettable scoreless draw, largely overshadowed by an intense penalty shootout.
Uruguay emerged victorious in the penalty shootout, with Douglas Luiz missing a crucial penalty that sealed Brazil’s fate. The game was marred by physical play, with Uruguay committing numerous fouls and ultimately prevailing despite going a man down after Nahitan Nandez’s red card for a dangerous challenge on Rodrygo.
In contrast to their usual flair, Brazil struggled to make an impact, especially with Endrick, standing in for the suspended Vinicius Jr, up front. Uruguay secured their spot in the semifinals against Colombia, setting up a potential final clash with Argentina, the defending champions.

END OF REGULATION: Brazil 0-0 Uruguay
The match ended in a stalemate leading to a penalty shootout, as both teams struggled to break the deadlock in a lacklustre affair.
90th min: Five minutes of added time are played in a match that failed to spark excitement, warranting a swift conclusion.
85th min: Chance, Brazil! Endrick forces a save from Sergio Rochet, but Brazil’s attack lacks the cutting edge needed to secure a win.
Brazil takes advantage of Uruguay’s red card by introducing fresh legs like Evanilson and Gabriel Martinelli. The absence of extra time in the Copa America quarters prompts changes. For Brazil, Raphinha, Joao Gomes, and Lucas Paqueta exit while Andreas Pereira, Douglas Luiz, and Savio come on.
With no extra time, Brazil aims to capitalize on the numerical advantage. Dorival Junior initially considers a substitution but opts to maintain the starting lineup to avoid weariness. Uruguay counteracts by swapping Darwin Nunez and Facundo Pellistri for Guillermo Varela and Giorgian de Arrascaeta defensively.
Uruguay’s Nahitan Nandez receives a red card after a harsh challenge on Rodrygo, leading to a VAR-assisted decision. Foul play persists as reflected by continuous bookings and aggressive tackling. Uruguay’s fouls are notably high, prompting Brazil’s frustration at the lenient refereeing.
The first half concludes with a lacklustre display of football marred by fouls. A mere nine shots contrasted with 18 fouls, with one yellow card shown. The hope for a more attacking second half emerges to elevate the game’s quality and entertainment value.
Lucas Paqueta receives the game’s initial yellow card for a foul. Opportunities arise on both ends but lack finishing touches as Sergio Rochet denies Raphinha’s attempt. Uruguay’s Nunez misses a header chance while injuries force substitutions, affecting team dynamics.
Fouls dominate the match as both teams struggle to create meaningful chances. Uruguay’s counterattacks and set-pieces pose threats. The referee’s handling of physical play is scrutinized, urging players to maintain discipline. Uruguay’s early pressure remains unrewarded as the first half’s uneventful nature demands an improvement in performance.
