Brazil vs. Colombia live score: Copa America 2024 updates, result as Selecao battle for top spot in Group D

Brazil and Colombia face off in Santa Clara on Tuesday for the right to claim top spot in Group D of the Copa America.

The Selecao responded to a disappointing 0-0 draw with Costa Rica in their opening game by thrashing Paraguay 4-1 on Matchday 2. They must win this match if they are to progress to the quarterfinals at the top of the pool.

Colombia are already assured of place in the last eight of this tournament in the United States and only need a draw to ensure they finish top of the standings. However, should they rest some key players for this game, it could give Brazil a slight advantage.

Brazil vs. Colombia live updates, highlights from Copa America 2024

60th min: JUST WIDE! It's Raphinha again on the free kick, this time he goes to the far post and misses the post by inches. Rodrygo had a good fake out to start the move as he was standing over the ball as well.

58th min: Raphinha is fouled right outside the box, and it's another dangerous attacking free kick opportunity for Brazil.

57th min: Gomes goes down under soft pressure from Rios and Gomes grabs the ball while on the ground, enraging Rios. Referee Valenzuela has to get things back under control and pleads with Brazil's players and Colombia's players to stop complaining for every call.

53rd min: A terrific passing move from Brazil nearly leads to a goal, as Danilo is fed into the box but his cross is blocked by Mojica.

50th min: Strong opening five minutes for Colombia as they increase the pressure on UK's backline.

2nd Half Kickoff: We're underway for the second half from Levi's Stadium. We've got a pair of changes.

Brazil: Andreas Pereira comes on for Lucas Paqueta

Colombia: Johan Mojica comes on for Deiver Machado.

Halftime: Colombia 1, Brazil 1. It's been an exciting first half filled with goals, tempers flaring over, and some solid attacking play. Both Jefferson Lerma and Vinicius Jr. picked up yellow cards, meaning they're out for the next round.

45th+5 min: It was Militao who kept Munoz onside. Colombia has all the momentum and are passing it around like they're Brazilians.

45th +3 min: GOAL COLOMBIA! Just before halftime, Colombia raise the pressure and the Brazilian defense collapses. Munoz with a brilliant run forward while Cordoba - who's usually in that spot - receives the ball in the center just outside the box and plays Munoz in. He first-times a strike over the arm of Allison and we have a tied game.

Just a minute earlier, Allison misplaced a simple pass for one of his defenders and it led to Luis Duaz having a strike on goal, but Allison saved it.

45th min: Bruno Guimaraes comes off the field with a knock and Brazil is down to ten men for the moment. 5 minutes of first half stoppage time.

43rd min: There's a supposed VAR check for a penalty kick after Vinicius is kicked off the ball in the box, but the referee tells the players to play on.

41th min: Vinicius Jr. steals the ball in midfield, races forward, and then wins a free kick, all within 3 seconds.

37th min: By the way, StatsPerform puts the xG of Raphinha's incredible free kick at 0.046. The odds of that going in are incredibly low, but he made it happen.

35th min: Save Allison! James tries to catch Allison cheating forward in the box and he tries to curl one in from a tight angle and Allison just pushes it over the bar.

33rd min: Still no water break in this game with temperatures still in the 90s, though the entire center and left wing is in shade right now.

Another foul by Brazil in Colombia's attacking third means another chance for James to showcase his incredible free kick technique.

30th min: Save Allison! Richard Rios controls a clearance off a free kick and he fires off a 30-yard strike that's seen all the way by Allison and he comfortably collects.

28th min: Cordoba is played into space down the right side of the box but Marquinhos does brilliantly to win the ball off him. Meanwhile, Lerma's yellow card before means he will miss Colombia's next match.

26th min: Tempers running high as many players from both teams are getting in each others faces by the benches. Referee Valenzuela gives Joao Gomes and Jefferson Lerma both yellow cards.

The incident began when Raphinha had a late slide tackle on Machado and then Gomes kicked the ball off Machado while he was down to win the throw-in.

24th min: Chance for Colombia! A cross comes in from the left to Cordoba in the box, but Marquinhos is there to defend and tap the ball away.

Moments later, Machado steps in hard on Raphinha and earns a yellow card for his troubles.

22nd minute: We're still waiting for a decision by VAR....and it comes in. Offside is confirmed. Boos from the Colombia fans in the crowd but cheers from Brazil's players.

19th min: OFFSIDE! James Rodriguez delivers in a tremendous free kock from the right and it's headed home by Sanchez but the flag comes up immediately. VAR is checking the goal.

16th min: James! So close, as he gets a cross in from the left wing and fires on the volley but it goes over the bar.

14th min: Colombia immediately takes it at Brazil and forces them back. The Cafeteros are trying to get one back before someone notices.

12th min: GOOOOAAAALLL BRAZIL! It's Raphinha from a free kick! Brazil won the free kick just to the right of goal outside of the box, and it was a perfect spot for him to curl one into the top corner. Vargas actually got a hand to it but he just pushed it into the corner. It's one of the best goals this writer has seen all tournament.

10th min: It's been all Brazil the last few minutes in terms of possession, and it leads to a shot on goal that Vargas pushes wide and out for a throw-in.

8th min: Off the crossbar! James takes the free kick from 35-yards-out and it smashes the crossbar and goes out of play. So very close to a legendary goal.

7th min: Colombia create a chance down the right wing, but Munoz overruns the ball and is forced back. It ends up with James, and he tries to chip it over Vinicius Jr., and the Brazilian gets his hand up in James face to push him off the ball and it ends up in a yellow card to Vini and a free kick for James. Wow! Vinicius Jr. is out of Brazil's next Copa America match.

4th min: Rodrygo takes the ball off Arias and cuts down the right side of the box before centering a pass in. It ends up at Raphinha's feet but Colombia does a good job getting many people behind the ball and the danger is cleared. Colombia is now getting a few seconds on the ball to pass it around and set the tempo.

Elsewhere, Costa Rica has gone up 1-0 over Paraguay, putting the pressure on Brazil. A Brazil loss, plus losing ground in the goal difference battle, could mean the difference of moving on and going home.

1st min: Seconds into the game, Raphinha steals the ball down the right wing and passes the ball into the middle. It pops up nicely for Vargas but he loses it for a second in the bright sunlight and drops it for a second, before collecting. Instant action!

1st Half Kickoff: We're underway from a super hot Santa Clara and Levi's Stadium.

1 min until kickoff: Wonderful renditions of both nations' national anthems! We're just about ready to go.

5 mins until kickoff: Teams are out on the field for national anthems. It is absolutely packed to the gills with yellow, and some pockets of red, it seems. Lots of Colombia fans for sure, with some Brazil supporters sprinkled in.

15 mins until kickoff: We're all on yellow card watch tonight. One more yellow card for these players and they'll be out of the next match - assuming there is a next match for both nations.

Brazil: Vinicius Jr, Wendell, Eder Militao, Lucas Paqueta.

Colombia: Jefferson Lerma, Richard Rios, Jhon Cordoba.

40 mins until kickoff: Lineup notes.

Colombia: Even with Colombia having already qualified for the knockout stages, coach Nestor Lorenzo put out a strong starting lineup, especially with James Rodriguez and Luis Diaz up top. Davidson Sanchez has been immense defensively, but there's no Jhon Lucumi tonight in the lineup - We'll see what kind of impact that has after a strong June for Colombia.

Brazil: With the Selecao needing at least a draw, if not a win to ensure they're advancing to the second round, coach Dorival Jr., has put out as strong as squad as is available to him, with the quartet of Lucas Paqueta, Raphinha, Rodrygo, and Vinicius Jr. all starting.

50 mins until kickoff: Tonight's referee, Jesus Valenzuela, had the Copa America opening match between Argentina and Canada. He gave out four yellow cards but managed the game well. Tonight shouldn't be a different challenge.

55 mins until kickoff: And here's Brazil!

1 hour until kickoff: Lineups! Here's Colombia's Starting 11.

1 hour until kickoff: According to CONMEBOL, tonight's match at Levi's Stadium has sold out. That's with a capacity of 68,500, which should make for a terrific atmosphere (barring overheating in the stands).

1 hour, 10 mins before kickoff: One storyline to watch tonight - Excessive heat. Even with the late start on the East Coast, this game is being played in 100F degree temperatures right now in Santa Clara. There's an excessive heat warning in place for that area for the next week, and it's still expected to be in the 90s at kickoff.

1 hour, 30 mins before kickoff: An interesting stat from Opta. Colombia (and Crystal Palace) right back Daniel Munoz had nine tackles, the most of any player on the field in Colombia's 3-0 win over Costa Rica. Munoz will be busy all night assuming Vinicius Jr. is on his side of the field.

2 hours before kickoff: It's a straight shootout for top spot in Group D of the Copa America. Will it be Brazil or Colombia who claim the preferred draw for the quarterfinals?

Brazil vs. Colombia kickoff time

This Copa America match kicks off from Levi's Stadium on Tuesday, July 2 at 6:00 p.m. PT local time in Santa Clara, California, San Francisco, USA.

Here's how that time translates across some of the major territories around the globe:

Copa America 2024 Group D standings

Brazil vs. Colombia lineups, team news, starting 11

Star forward Vinicius Junior , along with Real Madrid teammate Eder Militao , West Ham's Lucas Paqueta and Wendell , are among the Selecao players who have received a yellow card and could face a suspension, so the Brazilians may keep them on the bench to start with.

Seventeen-year-old Endrick will likely earn his first start at this tournament in place of Vinicius, having entered as a substitute in both of their matches so far.

PSG centre-back Lucas Beraldo could slot into central defence alongside his Paris Saint-Germain clubmate Marquinhos, while Andreas Pereira would be the most likely player to replace Paqueta on matchday three.

Douglas Luiz was dropped on matchday two, with Brazil head coach Dorival Junior favouring Joao Gomes and Bruno Guimaraes as the holding midfield double-pivot.

Savio justified his place in the opening lineup on Friday, scoring his first goal with the senior side. Rodrygo played as the central striker against Paraguay, but the Real Madrid wizard may return to his preferred position on the left-wing for this match.

Colombian skipper James Rodriguez was pulled out with less than 20 minutes left to play due to a knock on Friday, but head coach Jaime Lorenzo has confirmed that it was only as a precautionary measure.

Starting defender Jhon Lucumi survived a scare after he went down with an apparent leg injury in the 2-1 win against Paraguay in Colombia's Group D opener, but the injury has already been deemed minor, and after missing the teamsheet against Costa Rica, he could return to feature here, with that pending a late fitness test ahead of Tuesday's match against Brazil.

Los Cafeteros will line up in a 4-3-3 formation in front of veteran goalkeeper Camilo Vargas , with the team revolving around Rodriguez. While he's no longer plying his trade in Europe, the former Real Madrid and Everton midfielder remains a pivotal figure for his national team and may not be risked in this game.

Should Rodriguez be benched as a precaution, 25-year-old Leeds United winger Luis Sinisterra will likely earn his first appearance at this tournament, having not featured either as a starter or a substitute in both of their matches thus far.

Luis Diaz scored the 13th goal for his country on matchday two, converting an opening-half penalty, while Ivan Cordoba and Davinson Sanchez scored the other goals.
