Brazil Defeat Peru To Win Copa America
Â
Brazil are the new champions of South America, after they defeated Peru 3-1 to win its first Copa America title since 2007 on Sunday.
Â
Everton's opener for Brazil, was equalised a minute before half-time when Paolo Guerrero scored from the penalty spot after Thiago Silva handled the ball. The goal was the first Brazil had conceded in six games in the Copa AmĂ©rica, but they retook the lead moments later after a well-worked move from midfield. Gabriel Jesus scored a decisive goal after the penalty, and Richarlison's late spot-kick sealed Brazil's spot as winners of the South American title for the ninth time.Â
Â
It was Brazil’s first major title since they won the Copa AmĂ©rica in 2007 and the first for their coach Tite, who took charge of the national team three years ago. Peru has not won the tournament since 1975.Â
