Brazil vs Argentina: Road to Copa America Final

Both country’s voyages to the Copa America final have been mesmerizing. Brazil started the tournament with a 3-0 enthralling win against Venezuela before thrashing Peru 4-0. Colombia was the potential banana skin as Selecao had to dig deep to eke out a 2-1 win, while Ecuador held Brazil 1-1 in the final group game.

In the quarter-finals, Brazil faced the 2015 & 2016 winners Chile. Lucas Paqueta's strike in the second half and a red card to Gabriel Jesus was the only highlight of the game, as Brazil progressed to the semi-final with a 1-0 win. 

It was once again Lucas Paqueta who found the breakthrough in their 1-0 win over Peru and set a date for the final against Argentina. 

Argentina, on the other hand, started their Copa America 2021 campaign with a 1-1 draw against Chile. However, back-to-back a 1-0 narrow win against Paraguay and Uruguay helped them secure qualification into the knockout phase, before routing Bolivia 4-0 to conclude the group game. 

Argentina then ousted Ecuador 3-0 in the quarter-final and booked a spot in the semi-final against Colombia, their toughest opponent yet. As usual, Argentina opened the scoring in just 7 minutes of the start only to be leveled in 61 minutes thanks to a goal from Luis Diaz. 

Hence, the game proceeded in a shootout, where Argentina prevailed, courtesy of fine saves by Emiliano Martinez saw them booking their spot in the final against Brazil.
