The knockout stage of the 2024 Copa America continues today from Arlington, Texas. Group B winner Venezuela and Copa America debutant face off to determine who will take on tournament favorite in the semifinals.
Venezuela went undefeated through the group stage for the first time in the Copa America. They scored six goals – tied for the second-most in group play – including two each from vice captain Salomón Rondón and Eduard Bello. The team is back in the quarterfinals again after missing out in the 2021 Copa America.
Canada’s Copa America debut is going well despite playing in one of the tougher groups of the tournament. They were pooled with Argentina, 2015 and 2016 Copa America champion Chile, and 2019 runners-up Peru in Group A. A 2-0 loss to Argentina in the tournament opener preceded a 1-0 win Peru and a 0-0 draw against Chile. Jonathan David’s goal against Peru is the only one of the tournament so far for the side.
This is the third time these two teams have met in international play and the first in a tournament format. They played to a 2-2 draw on June 1, 2007 and a 1-1 draw on May 29, 2010.
