Since the second half, Peru looking nice playing some one touch and long swithc side ball - what they lacking for the moment is some dribbling skill or speed/explosivity. If they could get a positive result in Quito, I would say they stand a decent chance of scraping the 5th or 4th place
Hovever the more the game goes on they seem to be lacking ideas, they coach already make 3 changes. Brazil just get three bites at the apple to make it 2-0, but the Peru GK pull of 2 good saves.
The Brazil defense looking less serene now though, they keep heading out the ball and giving it back to the Peruvians, and in the 71st minute a long shot off a corner badly cleared deflect off Lucio and beat Julio Cesar. I not sure why Doni not playing, but he would not have been able to stop it with the deflection anyway.
Robinho goes off looking as frustrated as ever, replaced by Elano
Game fizzle out after that. Brazil had two late chances before the whistle - the very last play of the game of a corner, Juan hit a header off the v of the goal with the keeper stick to the ground.
If Brazil had won, it would have been fair, but nobody can't really complain about the result
As far as it being a ridiculous result, that don't really make sense. This was Brazil's 8th match against Peru in qualifying and its 4th draw. 3 of them have come in Lima as a matter of fact, and (one of Brazil's win was on neutral territory in Colombia) As a matter of fact, in qualifying, Brazil has actually never scored more than one goal on Peru. All in it all holds to tradition
