Brazil was held to a 0-0 draw against Venezuela in the Copa America cup.
But for the second time in the match, Chilean referee Julio Bascunan ruled out a Brazilian goal after being alerted to an infringement by the video assistant referee. Venezuela has two points from two games and will fancy their chances of advancing with their final game coming against Bolivia, who suffered their second straight defeat earlier Tuesday in a 3-1 loss to Peru.
Brazil, who had made hard work of beating Bolivia in their opener, once again struggled to find a creative spark against well-organised opponents. The tale of the first half lay in the statistics from the opening 45 minutes, with Brazil recording only one shot on target despite enjoying 75% possession.
Jesus made an instant impact looking lively down the left flank and curling a shot just wide of the post on 57 minutes.Once again the striker advanced menacingly on the Venezuela penalty area and unleashed a fierce low shot.
