Fist raised, scream clenched. Manuel Ugarte He hit him hard, with conviction, in the fifth penalty and so on Uruguay is in the semis of America Cup. Celestial played in the first half and fought with heart in the complement, when they had to face the last 20 minutes and 5 of the injury time with one man missing, due to the correct dismissal of Naithan Nandez.

Dorival Junior, their coach (perhaps in his last game?), sent five changes in the last quarter of an hour, but it was no use. The light blue is buttoned back, with no gaps, and Brazil He was unable to find clear scoring opportunities, despite playing with 11 men against 10 of Uruguay.
Toughness in the first half
The first half was intense, and very violent. First the light blue hit hard, then the canarysubmitting Nicolas De la Cruz blow after blow. Argentina’s referee Dario Herrera He tried to lead the game without yellow cards, but the extra kindness only made the mood worse.
The group of Bielsa He pressed from the beginning, as well as his style. Brazil appealed the measures of Endrick and Raphinha. The first half was goalless, and there weren’t many chances either. Darwin Nuñezwith a header, the clearest shot for Charrúas. Raphinhain a hand in hand in Rochet, he was able to convert. Nothing is finalized.
Brazil can’t beat ten

Then came the heavenly torment. All come back, pure heart. Brazil with the ball but no goals. Ugartea lion Valverdegrow up Bentancurmind and nails. Caceres, in the background, above. 90 is gone 5 extra hours are gone, and everyone has to decide on penalties.
Valverde was first, Rochet cut the Eder Militao. Josema Gimenez He could have won it on his own, but he took a shortcut Alison. Ugarte it did not fail. Uruguay in the semis. It’s hard Brazil He is a fearsome rival and enhances victory. Now it will come Colombia, and the battle with footballers’ recovery times. But this will be another story. Now, celebrate the celestial.
