The Selecao will be disappointed with their showing but will take positives from the way they roared back from two goals down in Asuncion.
After giving up a two-goal lead to Uruguay in Recife on Friday, Brazil saw its fortunes reversed on Tuesday as a dramatic late Dani Alves goal saw the Selecao battle back from 2-0 down against Paraguay in Asuncion.
A disappointing first half for the five-time world champion saw Edgar Benítez give the home side a well-deserved lead before Brazil’s second-half plans went out the window when Dario Lezcano doubled Paraguay’s advantage shortly after the break.
