National Team Performance: Neymar’s hat-trick turns Peru around and Richarlison seizes the opportunity Brazilian team

Danilo [LAD]: He did well in ground ball disputes and tight spaces, but lost many possessions, both on wrong passes and disarms. With Richarlison “finished” on the right, the winger was more in the midfield. Note: 6.0

Marquinhos [ZAG]: He played just 11 minutes and got involved in Peru’s goal, hitting the ball kicked by Carrillo. Note: 5.0

Thiago Silva [ZAG]: Captain, the defender struggled on quick shots, but didn’t compromise. Firm in disputes above and below. Note: 6.0

Renan lodi [LAE]: He didn’t perform as brilliantly as he did against Bolivia, but he did well, once again playing wide and forward from the left side. In the first half, he gave a precise center to Firmino, who wasted it. Note: 6.5

Casemiro [VOL]: Despite being well placed in front of defense, he gave up space on some rebounds and missed passes. Hit pitches and tackles. Note: 6.0

Douglas luiz [VOL]: Very participatory, he helped cover Renan Lodi and even went on the attack to offer passing options. In a highly contested match, he physically prevailed and won most of the duels. He is more consolidated in the selection after this start of qualifying rounds. Note: 7.0

Philippe Coutinho [MEI]: Trapped on the scoreboard, he even got involved in the play that led to the first penalty, but his performance was very discreet, with little participation. He was replaced 24 minutes into the second half. Note: 5.0

Richarlison [ATA]: He took advantage of the opportunity as a starter and was one of the best in the field. Physically strong, he won disputes and helped hold the ball. In the second penalty shoot-out, he cleared a corner, with his head, and then won the dispute in the middle and removed Everton. He still left his goal, the seventh with hopscotch. Note: 7.5

Neymar [ATA]: He called the game and at times he held the ball too much in the first half. But can! He was essential for the victory, with good plays and, of course, the three goals (two from penalties), which placed him ahead of Ronaldo and behind only Pelé in the ranking of the team’s top scorers. Note: 8.5

Roberto Firmino [ATA]: He moved well, but missed two good chances in the first half, one in front of the goalkeeper and another with a free head in the area, after a cross from Renan Lodi. It was his header for Richarlison’s goal. Note: 6.0

Rodrigo Caio [ZAG]: He started the game in the place of Marquinhos. He lost a body dispute with Gonzales that nearly resulted in a goal, but then improved in the match. It was unlucky that the ball deflected him in the bet on Peru’s second goal. Note: 5.5

Everton Ribeiro [MEI]: He lost some disputes because he was less physically strong than the Peruvians, but that gave the National Team a boost. He shot and, in the end, hit the post on the post, which resulted in Neymar’s goal on the rebound. Note: 6.0

Everton [ATA]: He entered well, again on the right wing of the attack, pulling counterattacks and participating in the second and fourth goals. Note: 6.5
