Brazil Vs Peru Result, FIFA World Cup qualifiers: Marquinhos late goal helps Brazil win vs Peru :
On September 12th, Brazil continued their impressive run in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers with a second consecutive victory, defeating Peru 1-0 in Lima. The decisive goal came late in the game, courtesy of Marquinhos.
Brazil, who had previously showcased their strength by defeating Bolivia 5-1 in a home match just days earlier, now found themselves tied at the summit of the South American qualifying standings with Argentina, both teams boasting six points.
Under the interim leadership of coach Fernando Diniz, Brazil displayed early dominance in terms of possession and attacking opportunities. However, their efforts were met with disappointment in the first half as goals from Raphinha and Richarlison were disallowed due to offside rulings.
“I’m happy with the performance we had in both games. The atmosphere during today’s game was different. To make one goal matter, the team needed to score three,” Diniz told the media.
“Winning is always essential. I think our victory deserves a lot of credit. It was great fun for me.
When it appeared like the game would conclude in a scoreless draw, Paris St. Germain’s Marquinhos headed in Neymar’s corner at the near post to secure the victory.
