Gabriel Jesus, 10-Man Brazil Beat Peru 3-1 to Win 2019 Copa America

Brazil won the 2019 Copa America after an eventful 3-1 victory over Peru on Sunday. The hosts were in control after Gabriel Jesus assisted the opening goal for Everton Soares, before scoring himself to help retake the lead late in the first half in Rio de Janeiro.

Jesus' eventful final took a sour turn on 70 minutes, when he was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for a foul on Carlos Zambrano. Peru were still in it against 10 men thanks to Paolo Guerrero's 44th-minute penalty after video assistant referee found Thiago Silva had handled in the box.
