Paraguay held Brazil to a two all draw and thus Brazil remain in 6th place in the standings.Paraguay are equal on points and behind on goal difference.
Brazil were without Neymar and David Luiz for this crucial game – both suspended.Dunga called on Santos’s exciting teenage striker Gabriel Barbosa, a star of the Olympic team, to replace Neymar while Corinthians defender Felipe came in for Luiz.
Gabriel, 19, known widely as “Gabigol” is another Neymar in the making and he made his first senior appearance for Brazil after starring for the Under-23s last year where he scored six goals in four matches.
“I will be realizing a dream that I did not expect so soon,” Gabriel said. “I’m happy for the opportunity.”
However he didn’t score, the scorers being Lezcano , E. Benitez , Ricardo Oliveira and Dani Alves.
It is Brazil’s second 2 -2 draw in a row and their World Cup qualifying is looking more and more uncertain.
