Copa America 2019, Brazil 3-0 Bolivia: 5 Hits and Flops

Philippe Coutinho and Fernandinho rejoice after scoring against Bolivia Felipe Luis was a constant threat down the left side of Brazil's attack

#4 - Flop: Fernando Saucedo (Bolivia, Jorge Wilstermann)

Saucedo (falling) was overran in midfield by Brazil

Jorge Wilstermann's 29-year-old defensive midfielder Fernando Saucedo had a poor outing against Brazil's central midfield of Fernandinho, Casemiro and Philippe Coutinho. Saucedo put unncessary early pressure on his side by being booked in the 19th minute for a rash, unwarranted elbow to Casemiro's neck.

Saucedo was erratic in his passing and managed an abysmal 50% pass success rate and failed to put any real pressure on Brazil's midfielders as the repeatedly retained posession on the middle of the park.

#3 - Flop: Adrian Jusino (Bolivia, Bolivar)

Adrian Jusino had a poor game for Bolivia, conceding a penalty due to a handball

Bolivia's fantastic defensive work in the first half, where they managed to contain Brazil, was undone with a mistake from centre-back Adrian Jusino early in the second period.

The 26-year-old Bolivar player failed to keep his arms behind his back when blocking a fierce Richarlison shot, the referee awarding a penalty after VAR showed that the ball had clearly struck the Bolivian defender.
