With this result, the current American and world champion, ArgentinaThe Canadians will face each other in the first semi-final, a match that will serve to find the first finalist of the tournament.

He At&T Stadium in Dallas It was a Venezuelan branch where “Vinotinto” never felt alone. The South American atmosphere was trendy from beginning to end, as if the meeting had taken place in Caracas.

However, when it came to soccer, especially in the first half, soccer was Canadian. The Americans surprised Venezuela with attacking and intelligent soccer, ball owners and the best scoring actions.

From start to finish, Canada began knocking on the door of Rafael Romo. And just after 12 minutes, the initial trend would take effect. After a throw-in and an overflow in the right sector of the Alphonso DaviesJacob Shaffelburg – a real headache for Venezuela throughout the match – appeared to beat the South American goal with a shot at the near post.

The “Vinotinto” was overwhelmed by good Canadian football. Very quickly, they were about to increase the score, first with a one-on-one that Davies forgave, then with a shot and a subsequent counterattack that started from the “Maple Leaf” midfield.

There would be no exception in terms of controversy since on several occasions the whistler managed to call a penalty in favor of Canada, in both cases, for fouls in the Venezuelan area. However, the referee Wilton Sampaio of Brazil I didn't even go to VAR revise.

Venezuela began to put cold water on the Venezuelan intensity and the first half would end with timid warnings from Salomón Rondón, in one of the actions, after a good assist from Jefferson Soteldo.

With the result 0-1 for Canada, we went to halftime waiting for a strong reaction from the Venezuelan bench for the “Vinotinto” to enter the game.

The second half started faster and with less “football” than the first half. In fact, angry outbursts were commonplace from the first minutes.

While the match seemed to be controlled by Canada, the draw came in the 64th minute. A very serious error by the Canadian goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau Combined with an excellent finish from Salomón Rondón, this would give Venezuela a draw and the “King” would define himself in front of the midfield after an indecision from the goalkeeper.

Once again the game was heating up from a football perspective as Canada was about to wake up. Very close, in the next play, Liam Miller I would waste a very clear option in the Venezuelan area.

The Canadian Fallas concert would continue, now until Tani Oluwaseyirecently entered, in an obvious error in the definition after a good start from goalkeeper Romo. The Americans have failed again and again…

After 90 minutes of equality, the match would be decided over eleven stages.

There, it was necessary for Sudden Death to arrive to define the winner. For Canada, Jonathan David, Bombito, Alphonso Davies and Kone the final sanction.

For Venezuela, Salomón Rondón, Rincón and Cadiz would score. Herrera, Savarino and the definitive would fail, Wilker Angel.

With this result, the Canadian team will face Argentina in the first Semi final of the Copa América 2024, a match that will be played next Tuesday at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey.
