Champion with controversy: Brazil defeated Peru and …

Messi was right.
Finally, Brazil was with the Copa America he gathered in his country. The team-mate of the final was Peruvian Ricardo Gareca, who lost 3-1 in the Maracanã, in a match where the use of VAR was again controversial, which again benefited the local team. Thus, the Cup returns to Brazil after twelve years.

Peru knew that he had an appointment with the history of Maracana and came to surprise Brazil in the first minutes. Cueva, free kick, and Tapia finished towards the goal of Alisson, but without luck. For its part, the local team tried to respond to the intense rhythm of the Inca with possession of the ball and, as usually happens when Brazil plays, it succeeded.

The local goal did not take long to arrive. At the age of 15, a superb personal play from Gabriel Jesus on the right ends in the middle for Everton, who seems released from the mark in the box and scores 1-0.

Although the zero was broken, the match continued to be a back and forth. For Brazil, Everton remained uncontrollable for Advíncula for the local left sector; while for those of Ricardo Gareca, the proposal was yet to arrive at the rival arch with a clean and neat game.

As the end of the first period drew near, a good Peruvian touch in the Brazilian zone was interrupted by an obvious but unintentional hand from Thiago Silva. The referee had no other choice than to be inflicted a penalty (even though he was about to run, he had to go to the VAR) and the great captain Paolo Guerrero showed a lot of temper to put the 1-1 and break the dead Alison Becker. in this cup.

However, the tranquility of the Incas came to an end when Arthur took the ball in the middle of the field, advanced several meters to the danger zone and allowed Gabriel Jesus, who dominated and defined hierarchy before the good of Gallese, to take the 2-1 at half-time.

In the first half, Brazil is enjoying the great match of his double five, Arthur and Casemiro. Those of Barcelona and Real Madrid accumulated a pbad efficiency of 88% in the first 45 minutes, with 59 completed and only eight missed.

The dynamics of the game was clear in the complement. Peru went for the heroic, for the draw; and Brazil, to liquidate it and hasten the celebration. Those who were closer to the goal were the locals, but their shots were diverted. While for the visit, the roads leading to Alisson's bow were each time lesser but since the 69 had the advantage of one more player on the court, since Gabriel Jesus had been expelled.

But Peru did not have ideas to achieve equality. The best was Flores with a shot from outside the area, which was very close to the right wing of a flying Alisson.

Finally, as the 90s approached, Everton invented a fantastic game, entered the region and was moved with the body by a defender. Although he was neck and neck, the force of the impact sent the Brazilian on the field and the referee did not hesitate to ask for a penalty. Since the VAR, they called the judge, who went to check the maneuver on the screen and confirmed his decision, despite the televised evidence.

Richarlison admitted put the third and condemned the victory of Brazil, confirming, in case there is any doubt, the controversy in this Copa America which was at least Brazil of the VAR room.
