COPA AMERICA 2019: Japan draws 1-1 with Ecuador, sends Paraguay into quarter-finals

Brazil play Paraguay in Porto Alegre in the first quarter-final on Thursday, and Venezuela face Argentina at Maracana stadium on Friday.

Sanchez bagged the winner, his 43rd goal for his country, but Chile finished with 10 men after Gabriel Achilier's red card.

With a numerical advantage, Uruguay ran riot at the Mineirao stadium in Belo Horizonte as Cavani and Suarez netted before the break.

The 33-year-old's inclusion has received criticism in some quarters as Valencia has played less than 10 matches in an injury-ravaged season.
