Brazil Beat Peru 1-0 to Reach Copa America Final

Brazil Beat Peru 1-0 to Reach Copa America Final

QNA

Favorites and current champion Brazil edged past a stubborn Peru 1-0 on Monday to reach the Copa America final. 

Star forward Neymar set up Lucas Paqueta to score the only goal. 

The semifinal was a repeat of the last final, two years ago, when a Brazil team shorn of the injured Neymar also triumphed on home soil. 

The Selecao will play either Lionel Messi's Argentina or Colombia, who meet in Brasilia on Wednesday, in Saturday's final at Rio de Janeiro's iconic Maracana stadium.(QNA)ST/AMAQNA 0910 GMT 2021/07/06
