Brazil conceded a sad draw against Costa Rica (0-0) for its entry into the Copa America on Monday. Marquinhos saw a goal disallowed under the eyes of Neymar, an attentive spectator in the stands.
Awkward in front of the opposing goal, Brazil started the Copa America with a draw against Costa Rica (0-0) Monday in Los Angeles (United States). The Seleçao thought they had done the hard part in the 30th minute when Marquinhos threw himself at the far post to push the ball into the opposing cages, before his goal was disallowed for offside.
“The points we leave at the beginning can become complicated at the end”
Brazil multiplied the good positions, witnessed numerous saves from Patrick Sequeira and even hit the post with Lucas Paqueta in the second half, but failed to score and left the lead of Group D to Colombia, winner of Paraguay more early in the day. The Auriverde will be under pressure on Friday for their second meeting against Paraguay in Las Vegas.
“Now it’s time to be honest with ourselves, we wanted a victory,” Marquinhos lamented after the match. “That was the game plan, they were waiting for a mistake to counterattack with a long ball. Offensively we knew how to create but a small field makes the defense easier, makes it more compact and makes the offensive part more difficult. It’s about being honest with ourselves, creating alternatives to create chances, score goals, results are important in this competition, the points we leave at the start can become complicated at the end. what we did well, the beginnings generate greater anxiety. Look for a victory.
The meeting took place under the eyes of Neymar, who seriously injured his knee last October and withdrew from the competition. The former Barça and PSG striker seemed surprised when Vinicius Jr was replaced by Endrick (71st). “Vini?”, he asked in the stands.
