Against Costa Rica
Brazil disappoint in Copa America opener
A bitter start for Brazil's national soccer team at the Copa America: The South Americans started the competition on Monday (local time) with a clean sheet against Costa Rica at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood near Los Angeles.
Led by Champions League winner Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid, the Brazilians missed numerous chances. A goal by Marquinhos was disallowed for offside (30').
Lucas Paqueta hit the post in the 63rd minute. Brazil coach Dorival Júnior ultimately had to settle for a point on his competition debut. The nine-time South American champions' next opponents on Friday in Las Vegas will be Paraguay, who lost 2-1 to Colombia. The Colombians led by James Rodriguez, who set up both goals, have now been unbeaten for more than two years or 19 games. Their last nine wins in a row.
