Roberto Firmino, Gabriel Jesus and Philippe Coutinho had their goals ruled out as their opponents earned a point. Brazil made a breakthrough in the 38th minute when Firmino collected Dani Alves' cross before putting the ball in the net but the referee ruled that the Liverpool striker had committed a foul. Substitute Gabriel Jesus also put the Selecao in the lead but the referee again ruled that Firmino was offside in the build-up. VAR intervened once again when Coutinho looked to have finally found a winner with just minutes remaining in the game. The game ended goalless, prompting boos from the home crowd as Brazil will have to wait in their final game against Peru who defeated Bolivia 3-1 in the other group game. Venezuela were very defensive, defender Thiago Silva said after the final whistle. "We were sometimes too hasty in trying to make a quick final pass and that led us to lose a bit of confidence. But when you don't score goals it looks like everything is wrong. "In the second half they practically never got out their own area. We didn't win because of small details.
