The 2016 Copa America de Fútbol Playa Santos is starting to get pretty intense even after the third match day, as there were several surprises and drama.

Brazil have been one of the favourites in the competition, and they justified this tag by putting in a brilliant performance against Chile in group A. The three more points secured against Chile places them top of the table. It was a difficult start to the game for Brazil since Chile were adopting a heavy approach. The opposition, though, had the quality in the ranks in order to get back and overcome the La Roja.

Uruguay have also taken six points so far and they head into the game against Brazil knowing that it is a must win encounter for the team. Uruguay took on Bolivia in the latest match and they managed to get a head start early. Uruguay overcame their opposition quite quickly, as a result of being very clinical in finishing.

The team could once again use such clinical finishing when they take on Brazil. One of the top surprises in the 2016 Copa America de Fútbol Playa Santos have been Colombia, who have managed to get a 4-2 win over Paraguay. This victory has changed the total dynamic of group B.

Juan López gave Paraguay a strong start, but Colombia came back in an even more impressive fashion to leave the score 4-1 once the second leg had completed. Even though Paraguay had numerous chances including two penalty kicks, they were unable to find a way past the resolute Colombian defence that did everything in order to prevent the opposition from scoring. After having performed impressively in the win over Peru, Venezuela remain top of the group. The 3-2 win over Peru was largely masterminded in the first half.
