Robinho rues substitution, wanted to take penalty
Goal-scorer Robinho said he was disappointed to be substituted, ruling him out of Brazil's losing shootout to Paraguay at the Copa America.
Brazil forward Robinho rued not being able to participate in the penalty shootout that saw Paraguay oust them from the Copa America yet again.
Robinho's goal in the opening quarter-hour had Brazil on track to progress past the quarterfinals in Concepcion.
However, Derlis Gonzalez equalized from the spot and then, with nothing to separate the sides at the end of 90 minutes, scored the winning penalty for a 4-3 shootout win.
Douglas Costa and Everton Ribeiro were the shootout culprits for Brazil.
