This Thursday, June 27, at 7.30 pm (Peruvian time), the first match for the quarterfinals of the 2019 Copa America will be held between the Brazil National Team and the Paraguay National Team at the Arena Do Gremio in Porto Alegre. In the tournament statistics, the 'Canarinha' needs to take into account these numbers before assuming this match.
The tie that will face the Brazil National Team and the Paraguay National Team brings a pleasant memory for the Paraguayans. The 'Albirroja' (although it was in a penalty shootout) eliminated the 'Canarinha' precisely in the quarterfinals of the 2015 and 2011 editions of the Copa America.
In 2011, where the Paraguay National Team reached the final of the tournament, the match ended 0-0 and, in the penalty shootout, the 'Albirroja' achieved the pass to the semifinals by 0-2, after the Brazilian team failed four consecutive penalty shots.
Four years later, the match ended 1-1 (3-4) with goals from Robinho for the Brazil National Team and Derlis Gonzalez from the penalty spot for the Paraguay National Team, who also scored the decisive penalty kick to put the Paraguayans back in the semifinals.
These two meetings in the quarterfinals are part of the four consecutive matches that the Paraguay National Team remains undefeated against the Brazil National Team in the 2019 Copa America, as it also has a 2-2 draw in the group stage in 2011 and a 2-1 victory in 2004.
In total, Brazil vs Paraguay have faced each other in the Copa America on thirty occasions, of which fourteen have been won by the Brazilians, seven have been for the Paraguayans, and ten have ended in a draw.
