The table is served. There is no better menu than a Argentina vs Brazil to define a title like the one they will play this Saturday in the final of the Futsal America’s Cup which is played in Paraguay. The Albiceleste and the Verdeamarelha face each other from the 19:30 (Argentine time) with television DSports in exclusive.
It is the chance to defend the title for those led by Matías Lucuix, who won their third Copa América star in 2022 (they also have two titles in the Qualifiers). The access came in a very emotional match against the host Paraguay, which was resolved by the pivot’s solitary goal. Matias Rosawho plays for Jaén in Spain.
In the “Óscar Harrison Stadium” arena of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee (COP), located in the city of Luque, the Albiceleste also relied on another superb performance from their goalkeeper Nicolás Sarmiento.
The 14th edition of this competition will have Brazil on the other side, which had to sweat a lot to defeat Venezuela, despite the fact that the final score showed 3-0, with a double from Marcenio and a definition from the pivot Rocha.
Both finalists have shared honors in the regional history of futsal: Brazil with 10 of the 14 titles awarded in this championship that has been held since 1992, and Argentina with three awards (2003, 2015 and 2022).
Saturday’s day will be opened by the match between Chile and Uruguay (2:00 p.m. Argentine time) for fifth place in the classification, before Paraguay and Venezuela define the last place on the podium.
On the other hand, Bolivia won this Friday 7-6 in the penalty shootout against Ecuador. La Verde thus avoided the last place in the table, placing ninth and sending La Tri to the bottom.
Subsequently, Colombia fell 1-4 against Peru, which finished in seventh place in the regional tournament.
Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Venezuela won, in addition to the semifinal of the Copa América, their place to represent South America in the FIFA World Cup that will be held next September and October in Uzbekistan.
