In South America the green and gold national team fell against Argentina and lost the chance to participate in the next Olympics: this hadn’t happened since 2004.
The pitch and the decisive play-off blocked the way for Brazil. The Brazilian Under-23s will not have the chance to defend their gold medal at the next Paris Olympics.
Brazil has a lot of talent, Endrick above all, and has won the Olympic titles in the last two editions. In Venezuela the decisive 1-0 in favor of Argentina was scored by Luciano Gondou, 22 year old striker of Argentinos Juniors, ten minutes from the end.
South America only had two slots available for Paris 2024 and, after the one occupied by Paraguay, the last chance was in the great clash between Brazil and the Argentina Under 23 team coached by Macherano. Surprisingly, it was the green and gold who came out the worst.
