The team Peru scored an equalizer after Paolo Guerrero which was a penalty. The midfield did take another move which helped Brazil regain their lead and was due to the amazing skills of Firmino, Arthur and Jesus. Jesus brilliantly managed to strike the ball into the goal post. However, Peru did get a lifeline when in the second -half Jesus was sent off and was substituted by Zambrano for a very bad tackle.

It was more crucial because Brazil missed Neymar. After the match, Peru coach Garcia said. “It was fair that Brazil won. We had our momentum but the second goal. They took advantage of their opportunities.We came here hoping to win but they were very effective, but looking beyond the pain of the defeat, I think we are on the right path, that is the feeling that I have.” The star player Jesus said,” I want to apologize, I could have avoided it and I also need to grow up a lot.”
