Almost perfect

Everything OK

There aren´t many things to write about, because Silvera did almost everything well. Although this one wasn´t a match with many violent actions, it was an important, decisive and intense one, so it was great to witness the calm way the Uruguayan referee kept everything under control. 95% of the calls were good, he was great in rejecting tricks, and good when he booked, which he did only 3 times.

Very few

When the game was about to finish, and after the assistant's wrong flagging, Silvera invalidated a legal Brazilian goal. This one, and a free kick he conceded to Ecuador after a doubtful handball near the penalty area, were the two controversial decisions made by Silvera.

Brazil to Quarters

Game and goals came, and thanks to Maicon and Neymar, Brazil found a piece of peace. Because they made more goals than Venezuela, they won their Group and will play against Paraguay again next Sunday.
