JAKARTA - Brazil vs Colombia will be the last match of Group D of the 2024 Copa America. Selecao and Los Cafeteros only need one point for both of them to step into the knockout stages.
The party will take place at Levi's Stadium, San Francisco, United States, Wednesday, July 3, 202, at 08.00 WIB.
A 4-1 win over Paraguay in the second match has brought Brazil to second place in Group D. The team nicknamed Selecao now collects four points and only needs a draw to reach the quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, Colombia has won one place in the quarter-finals after their last 3-0 win over Costa Rica. So, whatever the results tomorrow against Brazil only affect the group's runners or runners-up position.
The result against Paraguay in the second match of the group was Brazil's first big win since September 2023. At that time, Selecao beat Bolivia with a big score of 5-1.

In addition, the result against Paraguay also ended four wins without a win against Conmebol's team. Previously, in the last three matches against a team from that region, Brazil always lost.
If they can win or draw, Brazil will automatically advance to the knockout stages for the 14th time in their 15 appearances at the Copa America.
The last time they lost in the last match of the Copa America group was in the 2016 edition. At that time they lost 0-1 against Peru in the last match and failed to qualify from the group stage.
Brazil performed better defensively in this tournament. Dorival Junior's side conceded only once after six goals in three games before the 2024 Copa America.
On the other hand, Los Cafeteros currently have an unbeaten record of 25 games in all competitions. This year alone they have a record of 100 percent by winning six wins.
If only a win in the third match then ensures Colombia tops the group standings and ends this phase with nine points aka perfect points for the first time since 2019.
La Cafeteros is expected to win a consecutive match against Brazil for the first time after a 2-1 win in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers in November 2023.
Actually, the safe path between the two teams is to draw. An additional point for both of them will ensure a step to the knockout phase because their numbers cannot be overtaken by Costa Rica or Paraguay.
