Highlights Brazil 4-1 Paraguay On the morning of June 29, Brazil overwhelmed Paraguay in the second match of the group stage of Copa America 2024.

After a disappointing draw against Costa Rica, Brazil regained fans’ trust with an explosive performance against Paraguay.

Vinicius became the main character of the first half with 2 goals and a series of impressive dribbling situations on the left wing. In the 35th minute, the Real Madrid star scored the ball into the Paraguayan net, after a high-speed central pass with his teammates.

In the 45+5 minute, the Paraguayan defender cleared the ball wrongly, allowing Vinicius to finish to complete his double. In between the 2 goals from the 2000-born star was Savio’s goal, after a simple close-range tap-in in the 43rd minute.

Right at the beginning of the second half, Paraguay rose strongly and surprisingly shortened the score after an impressive long-range effort by Alderete in the 48th minute. The “Albirroja”‘s glimmer of hope was extinguished by the “Selecao” in the 65th minute. Mathias Villasanti handled the ball in the penalty area, leading to a penalty.

Brazil played sublimely after the draw in the first round.

After his penalty kick went over the bar in the first half, Lucas Paqueta was still trusted by his teammates. On the second chance from the 11 meter mark, the West Ham midfielder made no mistake to bring Brazil’s fourth goal.

Paraguay conceded four goals and were also down a man in the final 10 minutes, when Cubas received a red card for a rough tackle.

The match ended with a 4-1 victory for Brazil. In the final round, Vinicius and his teammates will advance if they win points against Colombia. Meanwhile, Paraguay was officially eliminated after 2 losses. Costa Rica (1 point) still has a chance, but they must win big against Paraguay and hope Brazil loses big to Colombia to have a chance to advance.
