Brazil forward Rodrygo dribbles against Costa Rica during the first half of a match at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, US June 24, 2024. — Picture by Jessica Alcheh-USA TODAY Sports via ReutersLOS ANGELES, June 25 — Brazil missed a string of chances and were left to rue a lack of quality in the final third after they were held 0-0 by Costa Rica in their Copa America Group D opener in Los Angeles yesterday.
They were frustrated by a resolute five-man Costa Rican defence, who looked to contain their opponents and deprive them of space.

Coach Dorival Junior brought on youngsters Endrick and Savio in the 70th minute as Brazil desperately sought a winner but Paqueta twice shot wide in the final 10 minutes as the nine-times champions failed to break the deadlock.
