Peru v Brazil Live Commentary, Oct 13, 2020

A late-game collapse from Peru sees Brazil leave Lima with the three points, thanks to Neymar’s second penalty of the night on 83 minutes. The hosts were holding their own until late in the match, when a Brazil counter-attack was ended by Abrams’ reckless tackle on Everton Ribeiro, giving the Brazil number 10 a chance to take the lead for the first time in the match. A red card to Zambrano and one to the substitute goalkeeper late on were clear signs of the hosts’ frustrations in letting the lead slip twice, and they then went on to concede a third to Neymar four minutes into stoppage time, adding insult to injury.
