Both teams will now advance.
After being unable to secure the win against Colombia, Brazil will now face Uruguay in the quarterfinals. Uruguay will be a tough team to beat behind manager Marcelo Bielsa after leading the tournament with a goal differential of +8 through the knockout stage.
Colombia will meanwhile be rated favorites in their own quarterfinals match against Panama as the country looks to continue a 25-game unbeaten streak, including a 10-game win streak, by advancing to the semifinals.
Argentina will continue their bid to repeat as champions during their quarterfinal bid against Ecuador. Having not yet conceded a tournament goal and has not lost a quarterfinal since 2011, Argentina is favorited to win.
Venezuela will be favorited to win over Canada with a spot in the semis on the line. Canada has scored just one goal in three matches, ranking 10th in the tournament, while Venezuela has tallied six.
With 2021 runners-up Brazil showing surprising struggles early in the tournament, the path could be clear for Argentina to repeat as tournament champions.
