In order to improve his team’s performance, coach Dorival Júnior made a change to the starting lineup, bringing in Endrick as the attacking leader, replacing Luiz Henrique. However, this change was not enough.
Brazil played very poorly in the first half, against a Paraguay team that relied on physical strength and did not give the Brazilian team any opportunities. Thus, Dorival’s team created little and saw the home team open the scoring in the 18th minute, with midfielder Diego Gómez scoring a beautiful three-fingered goal from the edge of the area, which beat goalkeeper Alisson.
After the break, coach Dorival Júnior made some changes that raised the Brazilian team’s performance a little. However, apart from some good plays by Luiz Henrique and João Pedro, Brazil created very little and ended up losing.
