The Brazilian team arrived at the Copa América with many questions and, after its debut, those doubts have become more pronounced. The Auriverde could not overcome Costa Rica, achieving a 0-0 draw that has become a historic result for the Costa Ricans. This result has left Colombia as leader of Group D, thanks to its 2-1 victory over Paraguay.
Brazil’s goalless draw means that the team has now gone five consecutive official games without winning, a worrying record for a team that has historically been a power in world football. The team’s performance has been a cause of concern for its followers and has generated criticism of the team and the coaching staff.
Costa Rica, for its part, dedicated itself to defending and did so excellently, thanks to the tactical system implemented by its coach, Gustavo Alfaro. Discipline and defensive organization were key for the Costa Ricans to keep a clean sheet and secure a valuable point against one of the strongest teams on the continent.
The result has put even more pressure on Brazil, who now find themselves in a difficult situation in their group. Next Friday, the match between Brazil and Paraguay will be a definitive duel for the aspirations of both teams in the tournament. With the imperative need to win, the team that loses will have practically no chance of advancing to the round of 16.
For its part, Colombia enjoys the top of Group D after its victory over Paraguay, while watching with interest the development of its direct rivals. The Colombian team seeks to maintain its good moment and ensure its classification to the next round of the tournament.
Brazil’s draw has not only surprised many, but has also opened the door to a more competitive and uncertain Group D. The next few matches will be crucial in determining which teams will advance in the Copa América and which will say goodbye to the tournament prematurely.
