Vinicius misses a penalty as Brazil draws 1-1 against Venezuela in World Cup qualifying

ASUNCION, Paraguay – Vinicius Júnior missed a second-half penalty as Brazil was held to a 1-1 draw against Venezuela, leaving the Real Madrid star still without a goal in World Cup qualifying. Vinicius Júnior had the chance to score a potential winner after earning the penalty in the 67th minute, but his low penalty was saved by goalkeeper Rafael Romo and the Brazilian forward then fired wide from the rebound. Later Thursday, Argentina played Paraguay, with the hosts having banned local fans from wearing Lionel Messi shirts in the home crowd, while Ecuador hosted Bolivia.
