The Uruguayan soccer team defeated Brazil's national team in a penalty shootout this Saturday to go to the semifinals of the Copa América where they will face Colombia, who thrashed Panama this same day.

Celeste opposed the expulsion of Nahitan Nandez and defended the tie against Brazil to extend the definition to penalties, a section in which its goalkeeper, Sergio Rochet, was the great figure covering up the execution of Éder Militão, added to the fact that Douglas Luiz's shot was rejected by the stick. They secured victory in their fifth maximum penalty thanks to the hit of Manuel Ugarte.

Those led by Marcelo Bielsa will face the New Granada national team next Wednesday at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, in the United States. The day before, the first finalist of the bracket consisting of Canada and the reigning champion, Argentina, will be announced.
