Brazil 0-0 Paraguay (AET, 0-2 Pens): Selecao Miss Four Penalties As They Crash Out Of Copa America.
After 120 minutes of action, nothing could separate the two teams but the Brazilians capitulated with their spot-kicks, failing to convert a single penalty.
Paraguay dumped holders Brazil out of the Copa America and booked their own place semi-finals after a dramatic penalty shoot-out win. After two hours of goalless action, penalties had to decide the contest. However the Samba stars collapsed under the pressure, missing every single shot as their opponents triumphed 2-0. As early as the 8th minute, Brazil threatened to strike first. Neymar should have capitalised on some desperate Paraguayan defending but the Santos man volleyed narrowly over after a ball broke kindly to him on the edge of the box.Brazil lacked their characteristic flair going forward initially and a steadfast opposition defence prevented any meaningful advances from Mano Menezes’ charges early on.
Neymar was once again at the centre of things but the in-demand forward inexplicably failed to convert a gilt-edged opportunity to the relief of Gerardo Martino’s men.
Minutes later, Brazil came even closer to breaking the deadlock. Lucio got on the end of Andre Santos’ excellent free-kick but Paraguay’s goalkeeper, Justo Villar, managed to block the shot from point-blank range with his feet.
