On the morning of June 25, the Brazilian team started the Copa America, but caused a big disappointment when they were held to a 0-0 draw by the brave Costa Rica team at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California

This is the second consecutive draw of the Brazilian team against an opponent from the CONCACAF region, after the 1-1 draw with the US team in the run-up to the Copa America . However, the goalless draw against Costa Rica in the opening match of Group D left many Selecao fans worried, when the home team was too unlucky in scoring despite putting all their strength on the field.

Brazil started with a strong attคck consisting of Raphinha, Lucas Paqueta, Vinicius and Rodrygo. However, although the Selecao completely controlled the match and created many scoring opportunities, the goals kept coming.

Among them, Paqueta, Vinicius and Rodrygo were the players who had the brightest early chances to score, but could not beคt goalkeeper Patrick Sequeira and the dense defense of the Costa Rica team.

Brazil’s most significant move that could have broken the deadlock came in the 30th minute from a set-piece, when Raphinha’s free kคck was headed by Rodrygo, who found Marquinhos, who tapped in from close range to open the scoring at 1-0. However, the goal was disallowed by VAR after nearly a minute of checking because Marquinhos was in a narrow offside position.
