It was a dismal outing for Brazil as the team coached by Dorival Júnior drew 0-0 with Costa Rica, setting up a difficult match with Colombia in their second game at the Copa America.

Despite outshooting Costa Rica 19-2 and having the better chances, Brazil was unable to break down a Costa Rican side that was committed to staying tight at the back and holding firm.

During the second half, when the game needed a spark, Dorival Júnior brought on future Real Madrid star Endrick, but this came at the expense of Vinicius Junior. When Neymar saw Vinicius Junior being substituted off, his reaction went viral.
