The national team did not have a good first half. The team, led by Dorival Júnior, struggled to break through the defense set up by the Peruvians and put little pressure on them throughout the first 45 minutes. However, the presence of Igor Jesus as a striker made a difference. After receiving a long ball, the forward persisted in the play, and the ball deflected off a defender’s hand, resulting in a penalty for Brazil. Raphinha converted the penalty to open the scoring.
In the second half, the team played better, and spaces began to appear more frequently. At the nine-minute mark, another penalty was awarded, and Raphinha converted again: 2-0. Following the goal, Dorival made some substitutions that proved effective. Rodrygo and Savinho were replaced by Luiz Henrique and Andreas Pereira, who took full advantage of their opportunities.
At the 25-minute mark, the Botafogo forward made a good play on the right and delivered a perfect cross for Andreas Pereira to score a stunning volley. There was still time for more. Three minutes later, Luiz Henrique received a pass from Igor Jesus, advanced, and placed a shot from outside the box to seal the final score.
With this result, Brazil ends the FIFA match window in fourth place with 16 points, the same as third-placed Uruguay but with one less goal difference. More importantly, the Canarinho has opened a five-point gap over the first team outside the World Cup qualifying zone, Venezuela, which lost to Paraguay and remains at 11 points.
