This was supposed to be a walk in the park for Brazil tonight, and it certainly looked as if it was going to be that way after completelty dominating the early play. The longer they were kept out by the Costa Rican defence, the more the pressure built though, and the Selecao were left continually frustrated as they failed to find a way to the back of the net. Dorival Junior's side dominated 74% of the possession and kept their opponents pegged back inside their own half for almost the entirety, but couldn't come up with a moment of decisive accuracy in the final third. Paqueta and Guimaraes created chances for their front men in the playmaking role, but none of Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, or Raphinha could quite find the back of the net. Highly-touted 17-year old Endrick failed to make an impact off the bench when required late on either, and ultimately Brazil were lacking in attacking quality. On another day they would have had three or four for all their dominance of the contest, but they've been made to settle for a solitary point, and the pressure will come on as they move onto play Paraguay and Colombia in their remaining group fixtures.
