Peru and Brazil are playing for their lives at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro for the Copa América 2019 final. The team led by Ricardo Gareca approaches the match from a defensive standpoint, but everything changed after Everton's goal. At the end of the first half, Paolo Guerrero showed his frustration.
In 1975 at the Estadio Olímpico in Caracas, Venezuela, Peru became the champion of America by defeating Colombia 1-0 with a goal from striker Hugo Sotil at the 25th minute. The Peruvian national team won its first international title in 1939.
Both teams had faced each other in home and away matches, with a win and a loss, so they had to go to a neutral field to define the title. Venezuela was chosen as the venue for that match, which Peru won against Colombia.
Brazil and Peru will play the Copa América 2019 final on Sunday at the Maracanã, with the same starting lineups that they used in the semifinals against Argentina and Chile, respectively.
