The visit won him in the end. Brazil beat Peru by the minimum score, in Lima, in a duel for the second date of the Qualifiers.
A goal from Marquinhos, at 90′, was enough for ‘Scratch’ to keep the three points to climb to the top of the standings.
With this result, Diniz’s team added its second consecutive victory and tops the table in the South American qualifiers.
Peru had just added a point, after a goalless draw with Paraguay and with ten players, on the first day of the South American qualifiers for the World Cup, while Brazil gave Bolivia a 5-1 win in the city of Belém.
In the first minutes, Peru’s captain, Paolo Guerrero, led Brazil’s first arrival on the field, but missed the opportunity to shoot in front of Ederson’s goal.
Those led by Juan Reynoso went on the attack, but Canarinha slowed down the game and sought to take the offensive with Casemiro taking the initiative.
In the early stages of the match, André Carrillo took a corner kick, which deflected and ended up in the hands of the rival goalkeeper.
In turn, Rodrygo managed to reach the Peru area in a joint play, but failed to open the scoring.
At 15 minutes, Rafinha shot at Pedro Gallese’s goal while offside, and it was annulled by the referee after consulting with the VAR.
Again, in the 28th minute, Richarlison headed in a header, and Peru claimed an offside position, which was confirmed by the VAR after a seven-minute long review and the referee annulled the goal.
With Brazil’s two shots disallowed, Rafinha received the first yellow card for a foul against the Peruvian captain, Guerrero, an old acquaintance of Brazilian football.
Towards the end of the first half, Gallese blocked a shot by Neymar, who went to halftime demanding a play from the referee, a trend that he repeated throughout the match.
At the beginning of the second half, Neymar took a free kick that fell without much force into the hands of Gallese.
Rodrygo put pressure on the Bicolor again when trying to reach the Peru area, but was blocked by the defense and Brazil reorganized with Guimaraes to maintain the attack.
When it seemed that each team would take a point, Brazil took a corner from the left side of the field, Marquinhos got ahead of the defense and finished with a header, completely changing the trajectory of the ball, preventing Gallese from being able to block it.
On the third day of next October, Peru will visit Chile, while Brazil will host Venezuela.
