Phillipe Coutinho scored a Brace as hosts Brazil started the 2019 Copa America tournament with a 3-0 win against Bolivia, MySportDab reports.

Brazil felt Neymar's absence in the first half, with its attack unable to do much against the Bolivian defense.

Young Ajax forward David Neres, replacing Neymar in the starting lineup, couldn't add the spark Brazil needed up front.

Firmino and Richarlison also couldn't get anything going early on, leading to the halftime jeers by most in the crowd of 46,342 at the Morumbi.

It didn't take long for Brazil to get the crowd back on board in the second half, with Coutinho opened the scoring from the penalty spot after video review determined a handball by Bolivia defender Adrian Jusino.

The midfielder quickly added the second minutes later with a close-range header after Firmino's well-placed cross.

Everton, who replaced Neres, scred the third goal with a right-footed shot from outside the area after clearing a couple of defenders.

"We started well but as the time ed and we didn't score the team got a bit too anxious," Brazil coach Tite said.

"In the second half we were able to impose our game."

Brazil next faces Venezuela in Group A, while Bolivia hosts Peru.

Coutinho na threat any day anytime.

Serious, that Neymar of a guy isn't really essential for Brazil, even the coach has plan B sef because Neymar is just a bleeped up footballer.

The rest of the team can do it without Neymar..

I just want to see to see a PSG VS BARCELONA final this time around.

You know what I mean sheh?

Good game Brazil, though they looked “toothless” in the first half before getting that awoof penalty early in the second and then woke up.
Anyway, I hope Messi can win this Copa. The dude needs to win at least one international trophy in his career for Argentina senior national team.

Guess who is campaigning for 2019 Ballon d'or already??

"I've achieved so much in 2019

First player to score a hatrick in in UEFA nations League,
First player to have 100 wins in UCL,
Scorer of winning goal in Super Copa Italia", bla bla

Ronaldo is supposed to be campaigning for the best Portugal player in 2019, Bernaldo Silva.

But he think he deserves it more. Narcissistic Yeah!
