In the past two Copa Americas, Brazil has won one championship and one runner-up, and in the absence of the leader Neymar, the whole team has set sail again for the Copa America title, which is worth 1.27 billion euros from the Samba Army. On June 25, Beijing time, Brazil's opponent in the first round of the group stage was Costa Rica, but the Samba Army broke out in the first round and was forced to draw 0:0 by Costa Rica.

With Ruiz, Keylor Navas and others withdrawing from the national team one after another, Costa Rica is not as strong as before, and the ranking has fallen to 52nd, and the last time the two teams met was back in the group stage of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. For the first match of this tournament, Brazil's main players were all out, Vinicius, Rodrygo and Raphinha all swords; Joao Gomez, Paqueta and Guimaraes in midfield; Alana, Militão, Marquinhos and Danilo formed the back line, with Alisson in goal.

Because of the obvious gap in strength between the two teams, with the referee's whistle, Brazil did not unexpectedly occupy the initiative; In the first 10 minutes, Raphinha and Rodrygo each had a shot on goal; In the 22nd minute, Brazil counterattacked in front, Vinicius broke through with the ball, and Paqueta pushed the shot from the edge of the penalty area; One minute later, Vinicius was knocked to the ground after receiving the ball in the penalty area, but the referee chose to turn a blind eye.

In the 26th minute, Vinicius made a long pass over the top in the middle circle, Raphinha inserted a volley and was blocked by the attacking goalkeeper, Guimarães followed up and was brought down, this time the referee still considered that there was no foul; In the 29th minute, Raphinha's left set-piece was sent to the penalty area, and Marquinhos grabbed the net in front of the goal, but the referee also immediately blew the whistle, and the goal was invalid for offside! Brazil had a 9:0 ratio of shots on goal in the first half! But the Samba Army did not have a single shot on target, and the luck was really bad, 2 knockdowns and 1 goal was blown in the penalty area.

Since the positional battle has been unable to attack for a long time, Brazil came back in the second half and also tried to shoot from a distance, and in the 62nd minute, Paqueta turned and volleyed from outside the penalty area but hit the goal frame impartially! Brazil then made immediate changes, with last season's La Liga champion Savio and 17-year-old Endrick coming on in place for Raphinha and Vinicius. In the 75th minute, Savio stopped on the right side and crossed the bottom, Endrick grabbed the point and was defused by the defender and the goalkeeper, seeing that his teammates had not been able to break the deadlock, Neymar in the stands also shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Brazil had 16 shots on goal, eight times as many as their opponents, but without Neymar's organization, several forwards in the front court were like scattered sand, and without a center forward in charge, Brazil's ground penetration could not penetrate the opponent's iron bucket formation at all. In the end, a 0:0 upset made Brazil miss the group stage, and if it did not improve its offensive routine, Brazil may take revenge on Argentina to win the championship.
