The 2024 Copa América tournament reaches a crucial stage on Saturday, with a highly anticipated quarterfinal clash between football giants Brazil and Uruguay in Las Vegas.
Brazil's quarterfinal journey took an unexpected turn, as it will be without star player Vinicius Junior , who has been sidelined due to a series of yellow cards in the group stage. The absence of the outspoken Real Madrid forward, who has been critical of referees and officials, is a significant loss that could potentially reshape the game's dynamics.
Uruguay will enter the quarterfinal match with a morale boost after its 1-0 victory over the United States in Kansas City. The win, which led to the early exit of the USMNT from the tournament on its home turf, was marked by a goal from Mathias Olivera. The goal , initially under dispute, was eventually validated by the video assistant referee, adding a dramatic twist to the match.
