**Was this the best match of the tournament so far?**
We’ve been waiting for a game like this at the Copa America – two heavyweights going head to head – and it didn’t disappoint. It was edge-of-the-seat stuff from the first minute – breathless, intense, and played like a knockout tie.
The game wasn’t always pretty – 17 fouls and four yellow cards in the first half alone – but that didn’t take anything away from a spectacle that was lit up by an outstanding Raphinha free kick to give Brazil the lead. Colombia was still in the dressing room – Nestor Lorenzo’s side caught cold by Brazil’s electric start. That Colombia responded so well said everything about their quality as well as their resilience. It’s 26 games unbeaten now.
In that respect, the game lived up to the hype – both teams had chances to snatch victory in the dying minutes – and there’s every possibility that we’ll be treated to a rematch in the semifinals, given the way the draw works. Few neutrals will complain if that turns out to be the case.

It's something that we've talked about a lot with the team. It's the bitter note we take from today. There are instinctive reactions that we have to control in a different way."
