The Selecao started brightly but could not muster an opening Copa America Centenario victory, and could have even lost had Miler Bolaños' ghost goal been awarded
Expectations back in Brazil were not exactly high heading into the country's Copa America Centenario opener against Ecuador, but even so this was a performance that failed to capture the imagination.
Were it not for an incredibly close call from the referee's assistant, the Selecao may have even crashed to an embarrassing defeat.
Alisson, the Internacional keeper, spilled Miler Bolaños' low cross into his own net, but his blushes were spared by a flag on the nearside.
