This situation happened in the 7th minute of the match between Brazil and Colombia in the final round of Group D of Copa America 2024 this morning (July 3).After being passed by James Rodriguez, Vinícius Junior played Ԁirty with the former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich midfielder. Specifically, the Brazilian international swung his arm at James Rodriguez’s face, causing the 32-year-old midfielder to fall to the ground.

Vinicius Junior was shown a yellow card by referee Valenzuela Saez for a foul on James Rodriguez. It should be noted that this is the second time the Real Madrid star has received a yellow card at Copa America 2024. Previously, Vinicius Junior received a card in the 4-1 win over Paraguay in the second round of the group stage.

Vinicius Junior will be suspended for the quarter-finals for receiving two yellow cards as per the regulations. This is a big loss for Brazil because the 23-year-old star is the main striker, the player who can make the biggest difference in the team.

Not only did Brazil lose their most important player, they also had a hard time in the quarterfinals because they faced Uruguay. Because they could not defeat Colombia in the match on the morning of July 3, the Selecao will face the top team in Group C, Uruguay, in the round of 8 of the strongest teams of Copa America 2024 .

As we know, while Brazil disappointed with only 5 points after 3 group stage matches (1 win, 2 draws), Uruguay won all 3 matches, scored 9 goals, and only conceded 1. With all-wins and comprehensive аttаck and defense, Uruguay will become a big challenge for the Samba team.
