Costa Rica&#8217;s disciplined five-man defense successfully stifled Brazil&#8217;s attack, with goalkeeper Patrick Sequeira making crucial saves.<\/p>\n<p>Early in the match, Raphinha had a clear opportunity when he latched onto a long ball from Rodrygo, but Sequeira&#8217;s quick reaction prevented a goal. Brazil thought they had broken the deadlock in the 30th minute when Marquinhos scored from a flick-on by Rodrygo, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review for offside.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Costa Rica are just the second Central America team to keep a clean sheet \ud83c\udd9a Brazil at aa major tournament \ud83e\uddf1\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddf7 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FUxZK4ZqzH\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/FUxZK4ZqzH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 LiveScore (@livescore) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/livescore\/status\/1805443297059676393?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">June 25, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In the second half, Brazil continued to press for a goal.
