Once again, the Brazilian soil will be the witness of a very exciting duel and with an air of revenge between Uruguay and Colombia, to define who the winner of this quarterfinal match of the Copa America 2021 and is still alive to play the semifinals. They will meet at the Mane Garrincha Stadium in the city of Brasilia this Saturday, July 3, 2021. The most recent memory in a match between these two teams was 7 years ago when they met in Rio de Janeiro, with Colombia emerging victorious thanks to two goals by James Rodriguez, who was not called up for this Copa America.

How do Uruguay and Colombia arrive?

Uruguay reaches these quarterfinals after occupying second place in group A of the Copa America, after adding 7 points out of 12 possible, coming from 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. Uruguay has just played a very good group stage, in which they achieved their two triumphs in their last two games played, so it seems that those led by Maestro Tavares, have already been coupled and found the correct formula that had months searching. In these last two games, Uruguay did not receive any goals, so their defense has improved remarkably.

His last game was the victory by a minimum of 1-0 to the Paraguayan team. In this match, both teams seemed to have agreed not to hurt themselves too much, but, in the same way, Uruguay managed to create 18 scoring chances and 6 of them ended with shots on goal, but, again, the effectiveness of Suarez and Cavani left a lot be desired. So much so that Uruguay’s goal came through a penalty taken by Cavani in the 21st minute.

On the other hand, we have the Colombian national team, who started this Copa America with many doubts and with different criticisms from the Colombian media, thanks to their poor presentations in their first matches, where they tied against the Venezuelan team 0-0, lost against Peru 1-2 and with the same result of 1-2 against Brazil. But, the victory against Ecuador 1-0 and the poor performances of Ecuador and Venezuela in their matches, assured them to go to the quarterfinals in third place in the table.

Colombia comes to this game after 10 days of rest, so we will see if this rest was good for them to adjust the necessary pieces and face this game in the best way.
