1-1. Brazil, without Neymar, tie with an Ecuador that qualifies

Knowing in advance that she was classified for the quarterfinals as the group leader, with Neymar watching everything from the bench, and betting Tite for 'unit B', Brazil did not go beyond the tie (1-1) this Sunday against a Ecuador which, for its part, sealed its pass to the Copa América qualifiers to the detriment of Venezuela, which is the only one eliminated from group B already settled.

Although with a somewhat tedious pace (which is not surprising in Tite's team), the 'canarinha' took the initiative from the beginning, but it had to be from set pieces where she found the goal. Specifically, it was in 37 'when Everton kicked a foul to the area and Éder Militao he emerged above the rest to head from the penalty spot and send the leather to the bottom of the tights.

With the aforementioned goal, Brazil came to rest with an advantage on the scoreboard, but in the second half, aware that it could be cut off from the tournament, the Ecuadorian team convinced itself that it could stand up to the 'unit B' of the 'Seleçao ', and in 53' he tied through Angel Mena on the second play from a corner.

Later, the madridistas entered the field Casemiro Y Vinicius Jr., and the latter had a very clear goal chance that could change the sign of the game, but being very true to himself, he failed with everything in favor to score.

On the other hand, the Barcelona player Emerson Royal, although he could not celebrate it with a triumph, he premiered with Brazil and completed the entire encounter.

Like Ecuador, Peru also celebrated their classification for the quarterfinals by overcoming 0-1, thanks to a solitary goal of Cheek in 48 ', at a Venezuela which, reduced by the coronavirus, has shown its face in this America Cup although in the end it was swimming to die on the shore. The ‘Vinotinto’ says goodbye to the tournament while Brazil, Peru, Colombia and Ecuador they already expect a rival for the quarterfinals.
