This Tuesday, the Brazilian team beat Peru 4-0, at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília . With two goals from Raphinha, one from Andreas and another from Luiz Henrique, Brazil won the second in a row with Dorival Júnior. Flamengo's Captain, Gerson, was a starter in the match and had a good performance. Fabrício Bruno, Mengão's athlete called up, did not enter the field.
SUMMARY
The performance of Brazil in the first half was not the most exciting and Peru's fragility was more responsible for the three points than the talent of the national team. The first half was warm in Brasília. Peru opened the scoring in the 11th minute, but striker Edison Flores was too advanced and the goal was disallowed. It was the team's only finish in the entire stage.
The Brazilian team was at a slow pace, with Raphinha being a difference maker. The Barcelona player hit a shot against the crossbar and opened the scoring with a penalty goal in the 37th minute. Gerson made a beautiful throw to Igor Jesus, who entered the area and dominated between two markers, with one of them touching the ball.
Brazil came back with more desire in the second half. After just 5 minutes, Savinho tried to clear the marker, but was touched inside the area. The referee awarded a penalty and Raphinha hit hard, increasing the score. Still, the performance wasn't exciting, but Dorival made two moves that changed the match.
Andreas Pereira and Luiz Henrique replaced Rodrygo and Savinho, respectively. A few minutes later, the duo was responsible for the third Brazilian goal. The Botafogo player started from the right against two markers and crossed into the area. The ex-Flamengo player scored a beautiful volley to score a great goal in the 25th minute.
Brazil didn't let the Peruvian team breathe and scored the fourth goal three minutes later. Luiz Henrique received it from his Botafogo teammate, Igor Jesus and shot well, taking it away from the Peruvian goalkeeper.
AND NOW?
With the victory, Brazil reaches 16 points and remains in fourth place. The team's next games will be against Venezuela and Uruguay, on November 14th and 19th, respectively.
