Brazil vs. Uruguay live score, updates: Copa America 2024 result as classic CONMEBOL rivalry renews in quarterfinal

Brazil and Uruguay meet at Allegiant Stadium this Saturday in the Copa America 2024 quarterfinals.

Uruguay have been outstanding in the tournament, winning all three group games with an impressive 9-1 aggregate score. Coach Marcelo Bielsa has led his side to 10 wins from 15 games since taking charge of the team last year.

Brazil came second to Colombia in Group D but remain unbeaten at these finals, and there is a sense that they have been improving with each passing game. However, the absence of the suspended Vinicius Junior could be a significant blow to their hopes of progressing to the final four.

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

HALFTIME: A truly hideous and awful 45 minutes of "football" — if you can even call it that — has come to an end. Neither team showed any desire to get forward and play attacking football, preferring to just commit fouls in response to fouls committed on them.

At the end of it all, there were a total of nine shots between the two teams, while 18 fouls — twice as much — were whistled. It's a wonder that only one yellow card was shown by the referee.

Here's to hoping either side decides they want to play football in the second half, because another 45 minutes like that could be classified as torture.

39th min: Finally, the game's first yellow card is shown to Lucas Paqueta who scythes down Nicolas de la Cruz in transition. Brazil's bench is incensed, but that's a blatant booking as there was clearly no play made on the ball.

35th min: Chance, Brazil! Right down the other end after the Nunez miss, Brazil have a big opportunity go begging too as Raphinha is clean through on goal as he gets by Jose Gimenez, but sees his shot saved well by Sergio Rochet!

HIGHLIGHT: Watch in USA | Watch in Canada

34th min: Chance, Uruguay! Darwin Nunez has put a header over the crossbar! It's a bad miss as the Liverpool forward was through on goal, but the cross from the right was just a bit behind him and he couldn't quite contort his body properly to get the contact.

32nd min: Oh no, this is a real concern for Uruguay. Star defender Ronald Araujo is down holding the back of his right leg. This could be a real problem, as it appears to potentially be a hamstring issue for the Barcelona defender, who's had muscle injury issues across his career.

The Uruguay trainer signals to the bench he'll need a substitute, and Araujo's night is done. A brutal blow for Uruguay as Jose Gimenez will enter in his place, taking the captain's armband in the process.

28th min: Chance, Brazil! Oh my, Brazil are almost gifted the opening goal but Endrick's back-heel for Raphinha doesn't connect! The 17-year-old is fed through on goal by a poor back-pass from Matias Vina, and instead of taking it himself he tries to play in Raphinha, but the ball bobbles off his feet and is cleared!

HIGHLIGHT: Watch in USA

24th min: Federico Valverde has a chance to play in a teammate amidst a strong Uruguay counter-attack, but with his cross blocked, he commits a foul trying to reach the rebound. Uruguay have committed a whopping seven fouls to this point, compared to Brazil's one. The Brazil bench is up in arms about getting a Uruguay player booked for persistent fouling.

Then moments later Facundo Pellistri is fouled by Joao Gomes after a high Brazil turnover, but amazingly no yellow card is produced for that challenge either. The longer this referee lets things go without punishment, the more players are going to test the limits.

19th min: Chance, Uruguay! Two chances for Uruguay on a pair of successive corners! Darwin Nunez's header is on target but takes a deflection wide, and then Matias Olivera heads over the crossbar with the next delivery! Uruguay have had a ton of early pressure but have yet to find the net.

17th min: There's an off-ball incident for the referee to sort out as Ronald Araujo of Barcelona clatters Endrick from behind with a dirty cheap shot. Raphinha, protecting his Brazil teammate, then responds by pushing Araujo, who is his club teammate.

The referee has a stern talking to with both Araujo and Raphinha, and both will likely be on thin ice moving forward.

HIGHLIGHT: Watch in USA | Watch in Canada

14th min: Another foul by Nicolas de la Cruz, this time just a few yards outside the top of the penalty area, gives Brazil a dangerous free-kick from nearly the same spot Raphinha scored from earlier in the tournament. This time his delivery clips the wall and heads out for a corner, and the ensuing set-piece is punched clear by Sergio Rochet.

12th min: Brazil just cannot get out of their own half. Uruguay haven't managed to put things together just yet, but they're starting to cook up front. Marquinhos and Alisson have taken an enormous amount of goal kicks so far.

Nicolas de la Cruz gets a stone-cold stare from the referee after fouling Eder Militao while pressing high.

7th min: Argentine referee Dario Herrera is very demonstratively conversing with players from both teams indicating he won't hesitate to punish persistent fouling.

3rd min: As expected, this match has begun with an extremely high intensity. These are two teams with the highest work rates in South American football, and that's playing out early. Uruguay are pressing very high and causing problems at the back for Brazil!

Kickoff: They're under way in Sin City! A heavyweight battle for a Copa America semifinal spot, as Uruguay and Brazil clash. It's quite early for a meeting between top South American sides in this competition!

Brazil vs. Uruguay: Pre-match commentary, analysis, more

15 mins to kickoff: This is a huge match for such an early stage in the Copa America knockout bracket. Unfortunately for these two teams, the tournament draw created a very lopsided bracket — Uruguay, Colombia, and Brazil all on the same side while Argentina have very little to challenge them on the other side. It means the team that reaches the final will have earned their chance to dethrone the reigning World Cup champions!

30 mins to kickoff: After watching Colombia tear Panama to shreds in the earlier game today, they'll be rueing their inability to top the Group D standings and secure a less impressive opponent for the quarterfinals. It could be their early undoing — Uruguay have been beaten just twice since their early exit from the 2022 World Cup.

45 mins to kickoff: Of course, Vinicius is not the only player missing from the Brazil ranks. Neymar Jr has not even made the tournament. The Al Hilal man was injured back in October and did not recover in time to make the squad. But it's not like the Selecao are short of forward options. The one to benefit tonight is teenage sensation Endrick, who is already being touted as the next Brazilian superstar.

The 17-year-old has scored important late goals off the bench against England, Spain, and Mexico across his young career, but has been unable to net in his three Copa America substitute appearances.

1 hour to kickoff: The lineups for this match are in. For Brazil, it's a first international start for young Endrick confirmed, and there are no surprises from head coach Dorvial Junior.

For Uruguay, Marcelo Bielsa made no changes to his lineup for a mostly meaningless game against the United States in the group finale, so there was no way he would alter things for this game. Sure enough, he's stuck with his group yet again, with the only change a forced one due to an injury to winger Max Araujo, with Cristian Olivera entering the lineup.

1 hour 30 mins to kick: Vinicius Jr. is suspended for Brazil in this match thanks to his two yellow cards picked up in the group stage. Normally, you'd say a Ballon d'Or candidate missing for their national team is a truly notable absence — and it is — but Vinicius, incredibly, has just three international goals in his career despite over 30 caps. He hasn’t been able to replicate his incredible club form at the international level. What can Brazil do without him against one of the most in-form South American sides?

Brazil vs. Uruguay lineups, team news, starting 11

Brazil will play without Vinicius Junior , who is suspended due to yellow card accumulation. This sees 17-year-old Endrick starting for the first time in his international career, with Rodrygo shifting to the flank.

Savio , Gabriel Martinelli , and Pepe were vying for the other attacking spot, but it's unsurprisingly handed to the Barcelona veteran Raphinha. Left-back Guilherme Arana replaces Wendell at left-back, while midfielders Douglas Luiz , Andreas Pereira , and Ederson are all left on the bench in favor of Joao Gomes .

Injured duo Neymar and Ederson are not with Brazil this summer as they recover.

Brazil subs (14): Bento (GK), Rafael (GK), Gabriel, Bremer, Beraldo, Wendell, Couto, Pereira, D. Luiz, Ederson, Pepe, Evanilson, Martinelli, Savio.

Uruguay will miss attacker Maximiliano Araujo after he was stretchered off with a neck injury against the USA. Cristian Olivera , who replaced him in that game, also now enters the starting lineup opposite Facundo Pellistri up front with Nicolas de la Cruz ,and Darwin Nunez also in the attack.

Coach Marcelo Bielsa was expected to keep the rest of his lineup unchanged, with Federico Valverde and Manuel Ugarte in midfield and a four-man defence comprising Nahitan Nandez , Ronald Araujo , Mathias Olivera , and Matias Vina .

Uruguay starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Rochet (GK) — Nandez, R. Araujo, M. Olivera, Vina — Ugarte, Valverde — Pellistri, De la Cruz, C. Olivera — Nunez.
