Sharjah24 – Reuters: Brazil failed to win for the first time in 11 games but still qualified top in Group B for the quarter-finals of the Copa America after drawing 1-1 with Ecuador in Goiania on Sunday.
Eder Militao headed home a cross from Everton after 37 minutes to put the host nation ahead and Angel Mena equalised for Ecuador with a thumping drive eight minutes into the second half.

The result meant Venezuela, who lost 1-0 to Peru, were knocked out of the tournament as Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru qualified from Group B.

The quarter-final matchups will be decided on Monday after the final round of Group A fixtures.

Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay have already guaranteed their place in the last eight.
