Match Preview: Brazil vs. Peru
Brazil plays Peru in group-stage action in the 2016 Copa America tournament on Sunday, with a win for either cementing their place in the quarterfinals.
After tying Ecuador and soundly beating Haiti, Brazil still needs a win to proceed to the next stage. Ecuador is hoping for Peru to lose or draw, though the latter would mean goal differentials will determine who gets to move on to the quarterfinals.
Peru seemed to struggle against Haiti, despite them being seen as the weakest team in the tournament, barely eking out a win. Peru also blew a two-goal lead against Ecuador, resulting in a draw. Brazil and Ecuador also tied, 0-0.
Brazil's performance has been underwhelming, despite their 7-1 rout of Haiti. Many of Brazil's most recognizable figures, such as superstar Neymar, are absent from the tournament.
Peru has not defeated Brazil in international play since 1985 but has proceeded to the quarter final round in its last seven appearances. Ecuador, on the other hand, has not made it out of the group stage in the past six tournaments.
