4-1！ Brazil finally claimed their first Copa America victory, and after a big win over Paraguay, they only need a draw to qualify for the group. Brazil were heavily criticized after being held to a 0-0 draw by Costa Rica in the first round, but they finally proved their quality.
For Brazil, this match against Paraguay was extremely crucial. In the event of an upset loss to their opponents, they may not be able to qualify even if they can beat Colombia in the final round. Fortunately, this result did not happen, and the Brazilian team finally managed to get three points.
Because of injury, Neymar was not selected for this year's Brazilian squad, Vinicius is the team's top name, and he also stood up to carry the team this time. After Paqueta wasted a penalty, it was Vinicius who fired low to break the deadlock for Brazil.
Before half-time, Savio and Vinicius seized on two more mistakes from their opponents and scored two goals in just a few minutes, giving Brazil an early 3-0 lead and Paraguay basically despairing.
In the second half, although Paraguay relied on Aderet's world wave to recover a goal, they soon fouled and sent a penalty, and finally Paqueta scored from the penalty spot, he not only saved himself, but also sealed the score for the team 4-1.
In this game, the Brazilian team finally played the style of a strong team. The South American powerhouse, ranked No. 5 in the world, finally broke out in the second round and successfully scored three points. In the next round, Brazil will face Colombia, and they only need one more point to qualify. With Brazil having a goal difference of six points over Costa Rica, even if they lose to Colombia in the next round, they believe they have a good chance of advancing to the last eight. Of course, if Brazil can beat Colombia, they will finish top of the group.
After this game, the second round of the group stage of the Copa America has been played, judging from the performance of the first two rounds, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia and Brazil are undoubtedly the four most promising teams to win the championship, and they are also the favorites to win the Copa America. If nothing else, the Copa America winner will be decided among these four teams. With Argentina in the top half, they will not meet Brazil, Uruguay and Colombia before the final, and only one of the three teams will qualify for the final.
It is worth mentioning that the United States team, the host of this Copa America, was once regarded as the favorite to win the championship, but they won 1 and lost 1 in the group stage, and even qualifying was a problem. In the final round of the game, they will play against Uruguay, if they can beat the opponent, the United States team will have 6 points, but even if they can beat the Uruguayan team, they are likely to be out, in terms of the performance of the first 2 games, the strength of the Uruguay team is the strongest in this group, even if the United States team can win, it is likely to be a small victory over the opponent with a score of 1-0, once Panama can beat the Bolivian team with a score of 3-0 or more, then the Panamanian team will overtake the United States team (the same team first look at the goal difference, Then look at the total number of goals to determine the ranking), second in the group. At present, it seems that the prospect of the United States team qualifying from the group is not optimistic, and it is likely to be out of the tournament with 6 points in the end and miss the top 8!
