Brazil beat Peru to reach Copa America final

Legit.ng earlier reported that defending champions Brazil are through to the final of this year's Copa America championship following their 1-0 triumph over stubborn Peru at the Estadio Olimpico Nilton Santos.

Lucas Paqueta scored the only goal that separated both sides in the 35th minute after tapping in from close range through a Neymar assist.

Coach Tite's men started on a blistering note mounting so much pressure on their guests but Pedro Gallese kept his cool - not allowing any of those efforts to cross his goal line.
