Copa America round-up: Brazil hit five to reach quarter-finals
Brazil overwhelmed Peru with three goals in a superb first half to set up a crushing 5-0 victory on Saturday and cruise into the Copa America quarter-finals.
Looking like their imperious old selves in front of 42,000 fans at the Corinthians area, the host nation went ahead after 12 minutes when Casemiro nodded home after a goalmouth scramble and Roberto Firmino made it two seven minutes later after goalkeeper Pedro Gallese made a hash of his kick out.
Firmino charged down the kick and the ball rebounded off the post but the forward picked up the rebound and rounded the ‘keeper to roll the ball into the empty goal.
Man-of-the-match Everton added a third when he cut in from the left and unleashed a low shot that sneaked inside Galleses’ near post and Dani Alves made it 4-0 eight minutes into the second half when he finished off a neat team move and lashed the ball into the roof of the net.
Substitute Willian made it five with a vicious strike from outside the box in the final minute, before Gallese made up for his earlier error by saving a spot-kick from Gabriel Jesus in stoppage time.
The result, combined with Venezuela’s 3-1 win over Bolivia, means the hosts top Group A and will play one of the two third-placed teams at the Gremio arena on Thursday.
The only down side for Brazil was a second yellow card in three games for Casemiro, which means the Real Madrid midfielder will miss Thursday’s quarter-final.
Second-placed Venezuela will face the second team in Group B on Friday at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro, while Peru must wait to see if their four points are enough to earn them a place as one of the two best third-placed sides.
