2016 Copa America Centenario in USA Group B - Brazil Held by Ecuador in Copa America Opener Saturday June 04,2016

 

Brazil showed touches of magic but a lack of killer instinct as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Ecuador in their Copa America Group B opener on Saturday June 04,2016

Despite seeing their team force chance after chance the Selecao traveling support had to settle for a single point as the eight-time champions lost momentum in the second half at Pasadena's Rose Bowl.

The game began at an intense tempo with a flurry of chances at either end in front of a disappointing crowd of 53,158 which filled just over half of the stadium, the venue of Brazil's 1994 World Cup final victory over Italy.
