It had been 24 years since Colombia had enjoyed a competitive victory over Brazil. It was also almost one year since Colombia was thrown out of the World Cup by Brazil in a violent 2-1 encounter.
The drama was heightened by Colombia essentially playing an elimination game.
It had all the ingredients for high drama. It did not disappoint.
Colombia pulled off a 1-0 win over Brazil to pick up a vital three points in Group C of the Copa America. While the score was low, tempers flared up throughout the match as the rivalry between these two nations increased. Here is what we learned from the match.
Peru and Venezuela face off in a shockingly pivotal game for the Copa America Group C qualification.

How wrong everyone was.
Remember how Chile's 2-0 win over Ecuador in the opener proved to be the only unsurprising result of the opening round of games in Copa America? And how that win announced Chile as the likely favorite to lift the trophy?
Remember how Mexico was listless and toothless in a 0-0 draw with Bolivia? How suddenly Miguel Herrera's side looked like B-team?
Throw those scripts out the window. The two sides showed signs of brilliance in an entertaining 3-3 draw. Here is what we learned.

Only a few days ago it looked like Dani Alves might be leaving Barcelona to play out the rest of his career in Italy.
It was not necessarily a bad thing. At 32, one could assume that the Brazilian's best days were behind him and that it might be time for Barcelona move on from him.
However, on Tuesday the news arrived that Alves would not only be staying in 2015-16, but that he had signed a contract to keep him with the club for two more years. In essence, Alves would be playing with the team until the age of 34, when he would undoubtedly be past his best and could be a liability.
Does the deal make sense? Time to play Devil's Advocate for both sides of the story.
Group C of the Copa America is widely considered the Group of Death of this tournament.
Chile gets a Mexican B-team, a decent but not great Ecuador and a minnow in Bolivia, while Argentina gets an easy group featuring a Luis Suarez-less Uruguay as well as a rebuilding Paraguay and tournament debutante in Jamaica in Group B.
