Peru vs Brazil live

(Press F5 for the latest information)

Before a visit to Peru in the second round of the tie for the 2022 World Cup in South America, Brazil won 2 consecutive matches, scored 8 goals and did not concede any time. It is important to remember that Brazilian coach Tite has been violently criticized for a 5 game win streak (2 losses) in a series of friendlies from September to November 2019.

That was the worst and most “disjointed” period for the Selecao since Tite assumed power to replace Caros Dunga in September 2016. Confidence returned after a 3-0 win over South Korea in the last 2019 friendly match and further consolidated in a 5-0 victory over Bolivia in the opening match of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

Marquinhos, Roberto Firmino (2 goals) and Philippe Coutinho scored (with a Bolivian own goal), but the star who left a clear mark in this victory was Neymar. The No. 1 Samba star didn’t score, but he played really stood out with 2 assists and 18 successful people.

All the sharp attack balls pass through the talented feet of this 28-year-old. Neymar’s beautiful and effective dribbling is always an inexhaustible source of inspiration for his teammates to shine and score.

With 61 goals and 44 assists after 102 games with Brazil, Neymar has entered the history of the Selecao as the player who has scored the most goals. Away from home, the yellow-green team has a 16-game unbeaten streak (11 wins). Exactly since coach Tite took office, Brazil is invincible when playing away from home.

For its part, despite being in the final of the 2018 World Cup, Peru currently owns a relatively old team because coach Alberto Gareca still only dares to trust veterans and rarely gives opportunities to youngsters with courage. Competition age to accumulate experience.

Compared to the 5-0 win over Bolivia a few days ago, manager Tite adjusted just one spot on the Brazilian starting list against host Peru when Everton striker Richarlison replaced Everton in attack. Selecao.

In fact, this adjustment does not affect much to the power of Brazil because everyone knows that Neymar or partly Firmino are names that cannot be touched on the front line.

However, mighty Brazil soon received a surprise blow from the “Inca warriors.” In the 6th minute, Peru calmly organized an attack and thought there was nothing dangerous for the Brazilian goalkeeper, suddenly André Carrillo, a forward playing in distant Saudi Arabia, launched a left volley after the ball went out. line two. The Weverton goalkeeper flew full but was also defenseless.

Brazil was not only led, but also suffered human losses when midfielder Marquinhos was unable to continue playing and had to leave the field in the 12th minute. Rodrigo Caio, a national Flamengo midfielder, replaced him.

A few minutes later, goalkeeper Gallese made a delicate one-handed save after Firmino’s goal on a header from a Richarlison header.

But only until the 28th minute, Brazil drew successfully. Neymar introduced an 11-meter penalty for Brazil after being brought down in the area. The 10th striker was not wrong in bringing the game back to the starting line.

This goal is Neymar’s 62nd goal for Brazil, thus balancing the performance of the legendary “Alien” Ronaldo and is now only inferior to “King of Soccer” Pelé (77 goals). At the age of 28, “Little Pele” clearly has enough time to become the top scorer in Brazilian national history.

At 30 minutes, from the situation of breaking the ball of a Peruvian player, the ball hit Neymar’s leg and went to the net. However, after consulting the VAR, the referee did not recognize the goal due to an offside error.
