Brazil coach Dunga was jeered by the crowd as his side were held to a 0-0 home draw by Argentina in a World Cup qualifier on Wednesday.
Argentina played the more flowing football and will be much happier with the result than the hosts, despite a double miss by Lionel Messi in stoppage time.
The visitors ended a run of defeats by their archrivals, having lost the previous three meetings by three-goal margins, and moved up to second place in the South American group with 11 points, two behind leaders Paraguay.
Brazil, beaten 2-0 by Paraguay on Sunday, are fourth on nine points after completing their third game without scoring and narrowly avoiding a first-ever home defeat in a World Cup qualifier.

"It was a bad result at home," Brazil striker Robinho told the Sportv cable channel.
The Mineirao crowd lost patience with Dunga in the second half, chanting "Goodbye Dunga", among other things, and "Donkey, donkey" when he replaced Adriano with Luis Fabiano.
Dunga, who had no previous coaching experience, was appointed after the 2006 World Cup.
Julio Cruz and Sergio Aguero missed gilt-edged chances for Argentina, and Brazil's disorganised midfield struggled to string passes together.
Argentina's Jonas Gutierrez, one of four changes made by coach Alfio Basile to the line-up from Sunday's 1-1 draw with Ecuador, set up the first chance for Julio Cruz, whose header was saved by Julio Cesar.
Brazil created their best chance when Robinho broke down the right and the ball fell to Julio Baptista, but his shot was turned away brilliantly by Roberto Abbondanzieri.
One minute later, Abbondanzieri rushed out of his penalty area and was rounded by Robinho, but the Argentina defence got back in time to smother the danger.
But Brazil lost their rhythm after midfielder Anderson twisted his knee and was replaced by Diego.
