0-0
CRC (FT)
Costa Rica are the SECOND Central America team to keep a clean sheet against Brazil in a major national teams tournament (World Cup, Copa América and Golden Cup).
The first one was Honduras in the 2001 Copa América (historical 2-0 win for them)
Third VAR-disallowed goal for Brazil in the history of Copa América (the most harmed national team in this aspect): they were not given 2 goals against Venezuela in 2019 (Gabriel Jesus and Coutinho) and 1 against Costa Rica in 2024 (Marquinhos).
