The side will be without star player Vinicius Junior for their quarterfinal against record champions Uruguay after the Real Madrid forward picked up his second yellow card in the Group Stage which resulted in a one-game suspension.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Head Coach Dorival Jr spoke about Vini\u2019s yellow card and how players will have to step up in his absence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It was very strange, the booking. It was the first challenge of the game. But people say we have to learn to play without our big stars, so now is the time. In certain moments, we won't have important players. We've already lost Neymar. It's a moment for other players to step up,\" said Dorival Jr in the post game conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brazil took the early lead in the game thanks to a brilliantly taken free kick by Raphinha in the 12th minute of the game. Colombia took their time to play themselves into the game and equalized at the 45+2 minute mark.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
