The Copa America 2024 match between Brazil and Paraguay ended with a surprising score of 1-4 in favor of Paraguay. This unexpected outcome left fans and analysts alike in shock, as Brazil was considered one of the favorites to win the tournament.
The game started off with Brazil taking an early lead, but Paraguay quickly turned the tide with their aggressive attacking play and clinical finishing. Their ability to capitalize on Brazil's defensive mistakes proved to be crucial in securing their victory.
Brazil continue their 2024 Copa America campaign on Friday as they take on Paraguay at Allegiant Stadium.
Despite boasting a forward line of Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo and Raphinha, the Seleção slumped to a goalless draw against unfancied Costa Rica in their opening match of this year's tournament,
Paraguay are also searching for their first win of Copa America 2024 after being beaten 2-1 by Colombia in their opener, but will draw encouragement from the fact that Brazil have failed to beat them in their last five meetings at the Copa America, winning one and drawing four of those previous encounters.
The victory was quite a response for the Seleção Canarinho, who opened the tournament Tuesday with a scoreless draw against Costa Rica despite outshooting their opponent 18-2.
With four points, Brazil is two behind group leader Colombia, which defeated Costa Rica 3-0 earlier Friday. A victory or tie by Brazil against Colombia on Tuesday ensures one of the group’s two spots in the knockout stage. Brazil also has a six-goal differential advantage over Costa Rica, so a loss likely won’t keep out the nine-time Copa America champions.
The last major action of the match occurred when Cubas was sent off in the 81st minute after kicking at Luiz while the two were on the ground after a collision.
Despite Brazil's efforts to mount a comeback, they were unable to break through Paraguay's solid defense and were ultimately outplayed throughout the match. This loss serves as a reminder that in football, anything can happen on any given day.
Overall, this match was a testament to the unpredictable nature of football and the importance of staying focused and disciplined until the final whistle blows. It will be interesting to see how both teams bounce back from this result in future matches.
