Uruguay defeated Brazil on penalties (4-2) to reach the semi-finals of Copa America, ending the game goalless. Uruguay, with ten men after Nahitan Nandez was sent off in the 74th minute, will face Colombia in Charlotte, North Carolina, in their semi-final on Wednesday. The other semi-final will see world champions Argentina face surprise package Canada. The game was a bruising contest with little quality play and a tournament high 41 fouls. Uruguay were tenacious, harrying Brazil in midfield and never afraid to interrupt their flow with a fou. Brazil resorted to long balls forward, but Uruguay's 17-year-old talent Endrick lacked the physical presence to make that approach effective.
