Brazil coach Tite has hit back at critics after a 0-0 draw with Venezuela in their second Copa America match yesterday morning (Singapore time). Tite was criticised for his futile substitutions in a match where the Selecao had three goals disallowed and received boos from...

Tite's men had three goals disallowed - one by the referee and two by the VAR - but he insisted that he had no complaints with those calls.

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 per cent possession. The best chance of the half fell to Venezuela, when Salomon Rondon headed Yangel Herrera's cross just inches wide,with Alisson beaten. Moments later, he looked to have fired Brazil into the lead, advancing menacingly on the Venezuela penalty area and unleashing a fierce low shot.

Jesus went close again in the 76th minute when Dani Alves whipped a cross into the six-yard box. But again Venezuela's defence was rock-solid, with Jesus bundled off the ball and unable to get a shot away.
