Host Brazil is in the 2021 America’s Cup final in which it will defend the title against Argentina or Colombia after beating Peru 1-0.
On the terrible Engenyan field in Rio de Janeiro, Neymar’s 35th-minute initiative by Lucas Pucket was enough for the canarinhos to win the 2019 final rerun and continue the race for the 10th title.
In terms of the quarterfinals, Brazil made two changes: Benfica player Everton and Lucas Paqueta replaced the suspended Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino, and Peru replaced the suspended Carrillo with Cullens.
The Brazilians might even have a big lead at half-time, but then, in the second half, Peru, which did not exist in attack in the first, created some opportunity to restore equality.
Lapadula in the 49th minute, Garcia in the 61st minute and the Cullens in the 81st minute threatened Ederson, who defended on the first two occasions and left the game in the third and was hit high from the Peruvian center. that headed wide.
But the scoreboard did not budge anymore, and Brazil reached the final for the eighth time, winning the last five in 1997 (3-1 against Bolivia), 1999 (3-0 against Uruguay), 2004 (4-2 on penalties in in favor of Argentina), 2007 (3: 0 in favor of Argentina) and 2019 (3: 1 in favor of Peru).
Argentina and Colombia will decide on Tuesday who will face Brazil in the final.
For their part, Peru, the champions of 1939 and 1975, will have to be content with playing to qualify for third place, where they will have Andre Carrillo, the former Sporting and Benfica player who was sorely lacking in the semifinals.
