The Brazilian forward Neymar Jr. expressed his disappointment after Vinicius Junior was substituted during their draw with Costa Rica match.
The Selecao started their 2024 Copa America journey with a 0-0 stalemate on Monday night.
Despite being one of the favorites for the tournament, they couldn’t score in their Group D opener.
Brazil controlled the game, taking 19 shots on goal, but couldn’t break through.
In an attempt to change the outcome in the last 20 minutes, Selecao coach Dorival Junior substituted Vinicius with young talent Endrick.
This decision puzzled Neymar, Brazil’s all-time top scorer, as he showed his disbelief by raising his arms.
At 32 years old, Neymar was emotionally invested in the match despite being sidelined with an ACL injury sustained during World Cup qualifiers in October 2023, preventing him from participating in the Copa America.
