Brazil into Copa America quarters after 1-1 draw with Colombia

Colombia secured a 1-1 draw against Brazil on Tuesday, confirming their place in the Copa America quarter-finals as the top team in their group.

Daniel Munoz scored an equalizer during first-half stoppage time, ensuring Colombia shared the points after Raphinha's stunning 12th-minute free-kick had given Brazil the lead at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
With this result, Colombia moves forward to the knockout stages as the winners of Group D. They are set to face Group C runners-up Panama in Glendale, Arizona, on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the draw places Brazil in a high-stakes quarter-final clash against arch-rivals Uruguay, who topped Group D with a perfect record. This exciting matchup will take place in Las Vegas on Saturday.
However, Brazil will have to play without their Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr, who received his second yellow card of the tournament for an early reckless foul on James Rodriguez.
