Brazil thrashed 4-0 against a Peru that tried but was shipwrecked after goals from Alex Sandro, Neymar, Everton Ribeiro and Richarlison in the match of the second day of Group B of the Copa América, which was played at the Olympic stadium Nilton Santos, from Rio de Janeiro.
La Canarinha remains unstoppable in the tournament in which it has already added six points in two outings, while La Blanquirroja debuted with a loss and is bottom of the zone.
In a match that faced the finalists of the tournament in 2019, Alex Sandro, with a right hand and without dropping it, opened the account for the Verdeamarela in the 12th minute after being assisted by Gabriel Jesus.
In the 60th minute, the Argentine referee Patricio Loustau sanctioned a penalty for an alleged foul by Renato Tapia, but the action was reviewed by the VAR, which at 64 changed the decision and the game resumed.
In the 68th minute, Neymar converted Brazil’s second goal, assisted by Fred, in which he hit a precise shot past goalkeeper Pedro Gallese.
But Brazil had more to offer. At 89 Everton Ribeiro scored the 3-0 and at 93 Richarlison converted the lace for the final 4-0.
On Sunday, on the third day of Group B, Venezuela will face Ecuador and Colombia will face Peru, while the host team will rest. EFE. (JL).
