Paraguay repeated their 2011 Copa America penalty shootout win over Brazil to set up a semi-final meeting with Argentina.
Former Manchester City striker Robinho scored on his
99th appearance to give Brazil a 15th-minute lead as he tucked away a
Dani Alves cross.
But Thiago Silva's second-half handball allowed Derlis Gonzalez to equalise from the spot and force the shootout.
Brazil then missed two attempts and went out as Gonzalez again converted.
The defeat curtailed Brazil's revival under Dunga following their
7-1 semi-final defeat by Germany
in last summer's World Cup finals in their own country.
Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho had one of Brazil's few efforts on target
Robinho spent two seasons with Manchester City from 2008 to 2010 between stays with Real Madrid and AC Milan
