In a highly anticipated Copa America opener, Brazil was held to a surprising 0-0 draw by Costa Rica at SoFi Stadium. Despite dominating play and outshooting their opponents 18-2, the Seleção failed to find the back of the net, with Costa Rica's defense, led by goalkeeper Patrick Sequeira, putting up a resilient performance.
The match saw an early disallowed goal for Brazil, as Marquinhos' effort was ruled out after a VAR review showed an offside infringement. Throughout the game, Brazil faced several refereeing decisions that did not go in their favor, much to the frustration of their passionate fans in attendance.
