Dunga bemoans missed opportunity

Brazil boss Dunga admits that he was disappointed that his team could not take all three points from their 2018 World Cup qualifier against Argentina on Friday.

Brazil boss Dunga has bemoaned his team's inability to take advantage of Argentina's delicateness during Friday's 2018 World Cup qualifier.

Argentina entered the match still searching for their first win in the qualification process, which created a tense atmosphere inside the ground.

Brazil managed to recover from one goal down to claim a point in a 1-1 draw, but Dunga has said that his team "failed to take advantage" of the "very tense" stadium.

"I'm not sure if you noticed but it didn't seem like an Argentina stadium. Their fans were very tense and quiet inside the stadium," Dunga told reporters.

"We failed to take advantage of that in the first half and we knew we had to take advantage of that situation. In the second half we had greater energy, though we weren't as technically good. We just tried to cause them more problems."

Ezequiel Lavezzi opened the scoring for Argentina at El Monumental, before Lucas Lima netted for Brazil in the second period.
