During the night from Thursday to Friday, the first quarter-final match of the "Copa America" tournament took place in Brazil. The tournament hosts, Brazil, faced Paraguay in Porto Alegre. After a tough battle that went to penalty kicks, the Brazilian footballers secured their ticket to the semi-finals. Neither team managed to score during the regular time. Paraguay had to play with ten men from the 58th minute, but even that didn't help Brazil score a winning goal. After the regular time, the teams prepared for the penalty shootout – in the quarter-final stage of the "Copa America" tournament, there is no extra time, although this rule will apply again from the semi-finals. The penalty shootout started poorly for Paraguay - their first kick missed the target, and the Brazilians scored three in a row. Roberto Firmino missed the fourth kick, but Paraguay missed their fifth attempt, and Gabriel Jesus finished the series by scoring the fourth penalty kick. In the semi-finals, Brazil will face the winner of the Argentina - Venezuela match. Result: Brazil 0 - 0 Paraguay (Penalty shootout: 4-3) 58' F. Balbuena (Paraguay) sent off
