XtraTime Web Desk: It needed some touch of luck as Brazil reached the last four of the Copa América with a 4-3 penalty shootout win over Paraguay after their compelling quarter-final in Porto Alegre ended scoreless.

Gabriel Jesus got the winning kick for Brazil after Gustavo Gómez and Derlis González missed for the visitors. Roberto Firmino pulled his spot kick wide for the hosts.

Brazil, who have yet to concede a goal in their first four games, will next face the winner of Friday’s quarter-final between Argentina and Venezuela in Belo Horizonte next Tuesday.
