Match ends, Brazil 0(4), Paraguay 0(3).

Gabriel Jesus scored the decisive spot-kick as hosts Brazil beat Paraguay on penalties to reach the Copa America semi-finals.
Paraguay had Fabian Balbuena sent off after 58 minutes for a foul on Roberto Firmino, but the match ended goalless.
Gustavo Gomez and Derlis Gonzalez missed from the spot for the visitors as Brazil won the shootout 4-3.
The eight-time winners - booed by their fans in their first two games - will next face Argentina or Venezuela.
Brazil, who last won in 2007, were initially awarded a penalty following West Ham defender Balbuena's foul on Liverpool forward Firmino when he was through on goal - but the decision was overturned after a video assistant referee check showed the offence took place outside the box.
The hosts peppered the opposition goal in Porto Alegre, registering 26 attempts - Manchester City forward Jesus shot narrowly wide from close range before Chelsea winger Willian hit a post in the final minute.
Brazil were beaten by Paraguay on penalties in 2011 and 2015, but they triumphed this time despite Firmino dragging his spot-kick wide when they led 3-2.
They will play Argentina in the semi-final in Belo Horizonte next Tuesday, after they beat Venezuela 2-0.
Brazil fined over homophobic chants
Brazil's football federation has been fined $15,000 (£12,000) over homophobic chanting by fans during the hosts' opening match of the tournament against Bolivia.
The South American Football Confederation said there were chants at goal-kicks and that Brazil supporters also lit flares as their side won 3-0 on 14 June.

I hope there is a revival of sorts in the next few years!
Anyway from what I've seen the AFCON has had better games than the Copa.
Really slow and boring which is a shame as central/south american football use to be exciting.
Agree with the comment that tactics and playing Europe has had an impact.
With no Neymar it makes it alot easier to support them. Tite needs to get his tactics right and play the right players.
His conservatism could come back to bute him.
Sad to see them become just another generic international team that looks the same as all the others
Uh oh Citeh fans, UEFA starting to hand out financial fair play sanctions, fines and bans ..... you're next !
Money/Fake Diving has changed their style
They may talk about their Brazillian Love of this game but sad to say they are just another average team...nothing like the Teams of the 70's/Early 80's...way off the scales.
Only a couple of players since their have shone.
I used to enjoy watching them play but they are very boring now
Pretty sure they were singing for Aidy Boothroyd, he’s the next Mark Hughes you know
Not wishing to be deliberately argumentative but which matches in your opinion have been of a high quality? In my view, it's been a very poor tournament so far.
