Brazil’s footballers advanced to the Copa America finals. In Tuesday’s semifinals, the defending champions dealt with Peru 1-0 thanks to an accurate hit by Lucas Paquet from the 35th minute.
The duel in Rio de Janeiro was a replay of the final two years ago, in which the “Canaries” triumphed 3: 1 and won the ninth title of continental champions.
The midfielder of Lyon is becoming a key figure in the Brazilian team. Against Peru, he recorded his second accurate hit in the tournament, before deciding an identical victory over Chile in the quarterfinals. He left the field at the set time due to problems with his left foot, but according to the doctors of the Brazilian team, his start in the final should not be endangered.
In it, Brazil will meet the winner of the second semifinal between Argentina and Colombia, which is scheduled for Wednesday night.
