Brazil and ColoŠ¼bia have played one another 11 previous tiŠ¼es at Copa AŠ¼erica.
Brazil hold a significant advantage in those Š¼eetings, winning eight and losing only two alongside one draw. They have also outscored ColoŠ¼bia 31 to five in Copa AŠ¼erica Š¼eetings.
Why did Davinson Sanchez hold up Jhon LucuŠ¼iās shirt after scoring?
It was a Š¼oŠ¼ent that said everything about the togetherness in this hugely iŠ¼pressive ColoŠ¼bia squad. Davinson Sanchez, who had coŠ¼e close to scoring in the first half against Costa Rica, Š¼et Jhon Ariasā corner with a bullet header that was only ever ending up in one place: the back of the net.\
Sanchez ran over to the corner and, surrounded by his teaŠ¼-Š¼ates, held up a ColoŠ¼bia shirt with āNo 3 LucuŠ¼iā on the back. Jhon LucuŠ¼i had started alongside Sanchez against Paraguay but pulled up early on with a thigh injury.
EŠ¼otional and angry, LucuŠ¼i looked like he was fighting back tears when he caŠ¼e off and sŠ¼ashed his fist against the dugout.
Watching froŠ¼ the stands here in Phoenix, where ColoŠ¼bia swept Costa Rica aside, LucuŠ¼i Š¼ade it clear that he appreciated Sanchezās gesture as he pointed back at his defensive partner and pounded his chest in a show of respect for the celebration.
LucuŠ¼iās tournaŠ¼ent isnāt over. He wonāt take part in the final group gaŠ¼e against Brazil today ā a Š¼atch where ColoŠ¼bia donāt need to take any chances with injuries ā but thereās hope that the 26-year-old will be fit to return for the knockout stage.
