The first semifinal of the Copa America between Brazil and Peru was played in Rio de Janeiro. Brazil is the first finalist of the “Copa America”. And now he will challenge one between Argentina and Colombia, with the real possibility of a “Superclásico”.
In the “Nilton Santos” of Rio de Janeiro, in the “reprint” of the final two years ago, Peru could not resist. However, he kept the score open for a good part of the game, but was ultimately forced to give up more than honorably, 1-0.
Tite ranks Brazil on the field without a central striker, with Neymar and Richarlison switching positions. Peru, without suspended Carrillo, adds a defender who moves to a very defensive 5-4-1.

But it is a tactic that can not work, because after some provocative interventions by goalkeeper Gallese is Paquetá, served by Neymar, who scores his second goal in a row, 10 minutes before the end of the first half.
In the second part we see a more aggressive and sharp Peru, so much so that Lapadula and Garcia engage Ederson in some expectations that are by no means simple. While Brazil, despite a Neymar in full mood, fails to finalize the counterattacks.
And so, the match ends 1-0 for Selecao, a national team that again does not excite you, but continues the “hunt” for the tenth “Copa America”. The winner of Argentina-Colombia will host him in the grand final.
