Thanks to a full hit signed Ismael Koné in the sixth round of the penalty shootout, Canada is moving on to the semifinals in the South American Football Championship after a 4–3 win over Venezuela.

Canada, which is participating in the tournament for the first time, took the lead in the 13th minute of the first half after a goal by Salomón Rondón. The Venezuelans managed to equalize 20 minutes into the second half, and the match had to be decided via penalties. In Copa América, no extra time is played in playoff matches if they end in a draw after regular time.

There, both teams missed two of their attempts, and it went to an extra, sixth round, where Canada drew the longest straw.

In the semifinals, Argentina awaits, who also had to win on penalties in the quarterfinals against Ecuador.
