Brazil's win gave Venezuela a slot in the bronze medal match
Brazil entered guaranteed in the great final against Argentina. But for Venezuela, it was a hard task to avoid suffering more than 7 goals, what could make them lose the slot in the bronze medal match for Colombia.
The Colombians players and staff were in the stands, expecting Brazil to score the goals they needed to get one place at the fight for the bronze medal. And got excited as the Brazilians scored four goals before the 15th minute.
But, thinking about the great final tomorrow, Brazil made many substitutions, to give a rest to some players and also give the opportunity for those who had not played enough.
Venezuela could defend very well, and the final result of 5-1 guaranteed them to play for the bronze medal tomorrow against Chile.
