Brazil and Paraguay are Both in Need of Points During Critical Second Matchday

[ad_1]

Brazil begins the second matchday with one point while Paraguay enters with zero. Colombia and Costa Rica will play earlier in the day to open the second day of Group D. Brazil and Paraguay both enter Friday’s Group D match with the need to leave Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada with all three points.

In Brazil’s first match of the tournament, the Canarinha were stifled by a resolute Costa Rica side. The team from Concacaf frustrated the nine-time CONMEBOL Copa América™ champions with their rock-solid defensive effort, which led to a 0-0 draw in their first match. Going into matchday two, it will be interesting to see if Dorival Junior will make changes to his misfiring attack. The possibility of teenage sensation Endrick making his first tournament start is not out of the question.

For Paraguay, La Albirroja showed a brave performance in their opening match against Colombia. Los Cafeteros emerged victorious in the end, winning 2-1 and extending their unbeaten streak to 24 matches, but Paraguay made them work for it. Additionally, young Paraguayan starlet Julio Enciso scored his first ever CONMEBOL Copa América™ goal. Against Brazil, the young star will get another chance to show his talent on the world stage.
