"Paraguay will set out to frustrate Brazil just as Colombia did Argentina"

Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.738/11 in Brazil v Paraguay

Tobias Gourlay expects another South American giant to run the risk of upset in the last Copa America quarter-final tonight

Brazil v Paraguay
Sunday 00:30
(Live on Premier Sports)

Argentina 0 Colombia 0 in the third Copa America quarter-final last night.

After 16 shots in 90 minutes, Argentina finally took their 17th chance to win it - a 5-4 penalty shootout success.

For us, there was just one chance. And, with a little help from David Ospina, Argentina blew it.

There's half a chance of another goalless draw in Chile 2015's final quarter-final tonight.

Paraguay will set out to frustrate Brazil just as Colombia did Argentina (after an early readjustment).

The Paraguayans finished runners-up at Copa America 2011 despite scoring in only two of their six matches, which included a goalless draw with Brazil at exactly this stage.

They didn't lose any of those six games in 90 minutes. Undefeated through the current tournament's group stage, that means the underdogs are actually on an unbeaten run of nine in Copa America finals matches and Brazil, without Neymar, should struggle to break them down.
