Brazil forward, Neymar Jr, could not hide his disappointment after Vinicius Junior was substituted in their draw with Costa Rica

Selecao began their 2024 Copa America campaign with a 0-0 draw on Monday night.

One of the pre-tournament favourites were unable to find the back of the net in the Group D opener

Brazil dominated proceedings, firing in 19 efforts on goal, but were unable to find a way through.

Selecao boss, Dorival Junior, tried to salvage the situation in the final 20 minutes, replacing Vinicius with teenage wonderkid, Endrick.

That decision left Neymar, who is his country’s all-time leading scorer, confused as he raised his arms in disbelief

The 32-year-old was kicking every ball with his international team-mates, having seen an unfortunate ACL injury suffered on World Cup qualifying duty in October 2023 rule him out of another bid for Copa glory.
