Philippe Coutinho scored twice in the second half,  with Everton adding a superb third as Brazil defeated Bolivia 3-0 in their Copa America opener on Friday.

The match was dull and lacked action throughout the first half, but then came alive in the five minutes into the second half when Coutinho slotted home a VAR-assisted penalty.

Coutinho grabbed a second goal with a close-range header three minutes later before Everton scored home a third from outside the box, five minutes before the ending of the match.

The match was the first of this year's tournament, being held in Brazil for the first time since 1989. All 10 South American teams are participating along with guest nations Qatar and Japan.
