In the latest South American World Cup qualifiers, “Brazil vs Peru” saw Brazil deliver a dominant 4-0 win at home. Raphinha’s penalty double in each half helped Brazil secure a crucial victory over Peru, with late goals from Andreas Pereira and Luiz Henrique completing an impressive performance.
Brazil, coming off a 2-1 comeback win against Chile, looked strong from the start. They controlled possession throughout the game, showcasing their revived form. Brazil’s recent struggles saw them lose four out of five qualifiers, but with back-to-back wins, they now sit fourth in the standings with 16 points after 10 games, trailing Uruguay only by goal difference.
Raphinha acknowledged the significance of the win, telling Brazilian television Globo, “We needed this. Winning both games was key to getting back on track. It’s not perfect yet, but we’re heading in the right direction.”
Brazil took the lead in the 38th minute when Raphinha coolly converted a penalty. The spot-kick came after Peru’s Carlos Zambrano was penalized for a handball. Earlier in the game, Raphinha had nearly scored, hitting the crossbar in the 24th minute. He doubled Brazil’s advantage in the 54th minute with another penalty, this time after Zambrano fouled Savinho in the box.
Andreas Pereira, who came on as a substitute, scored Brazil’s third goal with an impressive acrobatic volley in the 72nd minute. Luiz Henrique, who provided the cross for Pereira’s goal, wrapped up the win just two minutes later with a low strike from the edge of the box.
Elsewhere, Argentina hammered Bolivia 6-0 to maintain their lead at the top of the standings with 22 points. Colombia, currently second, crushed Chile 4-0, with Davinson Sanchez, Luis Diaz, Jhon Duran, and Luis Sinisterra all finding the net. Chile, suffering their fifth consecutive defeat, remains at the bottom of the standings.
Paraguay secured a 2-1 victory over Venezuela, putting them sixth with 13 points, level with fifth-placed Ecuador, and one point ahead of Bolivia in seventh. The top six teams are guaranteed a spot in the 2026 World Cup in North America.
The “Brazil vs Peru” match marked a significant step forward for Brazil as they continue their journey in the qualifiers.
