Argentina to face Brazil in Suramericanos final

Hosts Argentina defeat Paraguay to face Brazil in the Juegos Suramericanos de Playa Rosario 2019 final

On Friday, Brazil and Argentina won their semi-final ties against Paraguay and Colombia to progress to the final of the Juegos Suramericanos de Playa Rosario 2019.

The final will be held at 14:15 (GMT-3) at the Estadio Rojo in Rosario. Colombia and Paraguay will also meet in the play-off for third-place.

In their semi-final tie, Gilberto Costa’s Brazil defeated a dangerous Colombian side, who put four goals past the world champions, to make it to the final.

Argentina had a more nervous passage to join their old rivals in the final two, as just a single goal was all that won them the game, in a 2-1 victory over Paraguay.

Elsewhere, a tense penalty shootout saw Peru take up seventh place against Chile, while Guyana beat Venezuela by four goals to three to claim ninth. 

Saturday’s final represents a classic footballing rivalry, as Argentina face Brazil on home sand…but who will seize the 2019 Suramericanos title?
