Peru 1, Brazil 0: Brazil exits Copa America after controversial game

Related Topics: Copa América, Peru, Brazil

Peru is heading to the quarterfinals of the Copa America Centenario after a controversial 1-0 victory over Brazil on Sunday night.

The best chance of the first stanza came in the 26th minute when Gabriel collected the ball inside the 18 before hitting a low shot towards the left corner. Goalkeeper Pedro Gallese denied the Brazilian with a fingertip save.

As a whole, the first half will likely be remembered for what didn't happen as opposed to what did . Both teams had decent penalty shouts but referee Andres Cuhna never pointed to the spot.
