Being first in the group became a key objective for Colombia and Brazil, since what is also at stake is the future: the next opponent in the quarterfinals.
The qualifiers from Group D will face the qualifiers from Group C in the next round, which is led by Uruguay. The Uruguayan team, with 6 points and a difference of +7, is practically assured of first place. It has one match left against the United States, which has 3 points and 1 in the difference.
As things stand, Colombia and Brazil will try to evade Uruguay, which has been one of the strongest teams so far.
The situation is as follows: if Colombia gets through to the first division, it will face the second division in Group B, which is currently the United States. One thing that could happen this Monday, when Group C closes, is that the United States could lose its place to Panama, which will face Bolivia. In that case, Panama would be second. But if Colombia advances from the second division, it would have to face Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay.
When will Colombia’s quarterfinals be?
