Brazil's perfect WCQ record comes to an end
Brazil's 100 per cent record in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup was finally ended as it was held to an underwhelming 0-0 draw away to Colombia.
Tite's men had won all of their first nine matches in the qualification group before coming unstuck in what was a bruising, albeit disappointing, contest in Barranquilla.
Both sides created chances during an even first half, but the finishing was of a low standard as the score remained goalless at the interval.
Even fewer clear-cut opportunities were created after the break
Yerry Mina wasted a glorious chance to give Colombia an early lead when heading just off target, though the Selecao had a lucky escape of their own soon after when Lucas Paqueta prodded agonisingly wide from Neymar's through-ball.
Brazil's captain played a key role again just after the half-hour mark as he teed up Fred on the edge of the box, but the Manchester United midfielder's subsequent shot was dreadful.
The match became especially scrappy in the second half, with neither goalkeeper called into meaningful action again until the 68th minute when Allison had to push Juan Quintero's 30-yard effort away.
That attempt came as the host side looked to up the ante in the final half-hour, but some substitutions provided a response from Brazil, with Raphinha and Paqueta both wasting reasonable chances.
Raphinha threatened again five minutes from time as his wonderful cross picked out fellow substitute Antony, and David Ospina produced a decisive save to deny the Ajax talent the winning goal.
