Neither Uruguay nor Brazil could score and settle a goalless draw in a match with more spirit than football. The affair went to a penalty shootout, and Uruguay came out on top.

Uruguay came as a big favorite, considering how Brazil has played so far, but Brazil has so much talent to think it would be an easy match.
Marcelo Bielsa has used the same game plan and formation in his four games, and only an accident would force a change in the team.
The first accident happened when Ronald Araújo was injured in a dispute with Endrick, who Giménez replaced in the 33rd minute.
People who follow South American football would not be surprised to see another classic Conmebol game with more kicks than dribble attempts, which has been the standard in this Copa America.
Brazil followed the same script in the first 10 minutes against Colombia—a mid-block who only pressures the rival team to enter their half.

Uruguay also followed the same script and did a high pressure. The game then began to play in just 20 meters of the pitch where neither team could break lines but lost the ball many times, so they inevitably committed many faults. This is a summary of the game where teams lack any inspiration to break their vicious circle. It is weird how João Gomes takes the right side to defend against Pellistri and Nández, but Paquetá and Guimarães are in the same line in the middle, also defending and not helping in the building up. Both were in the same zone as De la Cruz and faulted him anytime he tried to go forward, so it was a dead end.

Seeing players like Raphinha or Rodrygo heighten the perfect description of irrelevant is incredible. While I think Raphinha was the one who tried the most in the attack, not a single player caused any threat. Although Raphinha was close to scoring, but it was not his day. It wasn’t easy because they rarely had the opportunity to run or take on defenders, but you expect much more from them. Side note: putting Endrick against Araújo and Olivera was child abuse. It was obvious to anyone that he was just a child and was not ready to be the primary reference in an attack against one of the most physical teams in the tournament. Faults apart, Uruguayans touched him with a little force, and then he just fell.
The same thing can be said about Uruguay; this time, Darwin was the one who carried the most in the attack. He creates some interesting situations, but his decision-making is still shaky.
It was a tough match to watch from a neutral perspective, but what struck me the most was that after the red card of Nández, Uruguay quickly changed formation and stayed defensive for the rest of the match, giving the ball to Brazil.

Bielsa quickly substituted Darwin, and putting two lines of five with De Arrascaeta as the higher player on the pitch feels weird, not something Buelsa would ever do, but it works wonders.

Brazil had no idea whatsoever what to do; they were lost and were far away from scoring. Throwing more attacking players just created a bigger mess than before, destructuring Brazil’s attack even more. Just because of the accumulation, some chances were made, but Brazil could keep going for an hour more, and not a single goal would be scored.

Both teams seemed happy to go to the penalty shootout, which was a 50/50. Allison, on paper, was more prepared, but Militão’s miss threw away much of the confidence Brazil could hold. Douglas Luiz just happens to be the one fate decided to use to eliminate a gray Brazill.
In the semifinals, Uruguay just lost three of its four starters in defense. They already look tired against Brazil, and Colombia has more time to rest. Truly, a great feat needs to be made if they want to play in Miami for the trophy. They already won an ugly match in Las Vegas; another one can happen, but I think Colombia is the favorite this time around.
In any case, we will know the answer by the 10th of July.
