In the second half, the situation was still deadlocked for the Brazilian team against the dense and disciplined Costa Rican defense. Coach Dorival Junior had to send 17-year-old star Endrick onto the field in the 70th minute to replace Vinicius and Savio to replace Raphinha to refresh the attคck. Next, the 62-year-old coach sent striker Martinelli on to replace Joao Gomes to increase the attacking power.
However, the Brazilian team, despite playing only half of the field, still could not create any scoring opportunities. With a total of 16 shots throughout the match, the Selecao were helpless as the Costa Rican players played bravely to block most of the scoring opportunities and were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw.
With only 1 point from the opening day, Brazil temporarily ranked second in Group D after Colombia beคt Paraguay 2-1. In the next match, Brazil will face Paraguay at 8am on June 29 and must win to regain their position and have a chance to enter the quarterfinals.
