Appeared at the right place and time. Pedro Gallese flew to prevent a great goal from Richarlison, who managed to sneak through the 'bicolor' defense to score a shot, which was saved by the Peruvian goalkeeper, in the FIFA friendly Peru vs. Brazil , held at the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles.
At the 43rd minute of the first half, Richarlison appeared among the Peruvian defenders to launch a powerful shot at Pedro Gallese's goal. That shot seemed like it was going to be the first for the 'Scratch'; however, it encountered the 'wall' Gallese, who prevented the shot with a great save.

The Peruvian National Team comes to this match after losing to Ecuador in the previous friendly. That match had a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Raúl Ruidíaz as the lone striker. This time, Ricardo Gareca tried a different scheme, with a three-man midfield line: Gabriel Costa, Pedro Aquino, and Renato Tapia.
The next friendly matches for the 'bicolor' will be in October against Uruguay, twice. The first match is scheduled for Thursday, October 10th, at the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo; while the return match will be at home, at the National Stadium, on Tuesday, October 15th.
