Women’s Copa América: Brazil beat Venezuela and helped Argentina, who will define their place in the semifinals hand in hand

Argentina watched him from the outside, practiced almost at the same time, but could not break away from what was happening a couple of kilometers away. The truth is that this Monday, despite being released on the 4th, the Albiceleste celebrated: that’s it Brazil beat Venezuela 4-0 and gave a giant hand to those directed by Germán Portanova, facing the ranking in the semifinals.

The Cariocas have ensured their presence at the next stage with complete victories (9 points), while the prospects for the Albiceleste have been more favorable in view of the final day, scheduled for Thursday.

It is a hand-to-hand duel, because Argentina-Venezuela will face each other. The Albiceleste runs with a certain advantage, given that they have a +5 goal difference and for Vinotinto it is -1. These data indicate that there are two beneficial results for those directed by Portanova: win or draw.

In addition, the Albiceleste national team has options to finish in first place, but they are very low, since Brazil should lose against Peru by at least 6 goals and Argentina beat Venezuela by 2 goals.

Group A sees Colombia in the lead with 9 points and Chile and Paraguay in second place with 6 points. By date 4, Colombia will face Chile and Paraguay will face Ecuador. Should the Argentine team qualify, in the semifinals you could see faces against any of these three teams that still have a chance to qualify.
