QCOSTARICA — If you are Costa Rica and are going up against Brazil, a tie is like a win.
Such was the case on Monday, at the SoFi Stadium in suburban Los Angeles, as the Ticos left Brazil frustrated and scoreless in a match that will be remembered for how slanted it was for Brazil.
It will also be remembered for just how uninterested in having any kind of second half offense Costa Rica was.

The Brazil goalkeeper didn’t have to make a save all night long. The Brazilians had three times the possession of the field and outshot Costa Rica 19 to 2. Yet couldn’t get past Costa Rica’s defense.
For the Costa Ricans, it was like having won the World Cup.
That was on day 5 of the Copa América 2024.
Costa Rica now goes up against the Colombia national team on Friday (June 28).
