The Brazilian striker from Manchester City stood out in a very sad way. This gap did not prevent Brazil from winning (1-0) and qualifying for the semi-finals of the competition.

LBrazil suffered to beat Chile 1-0 on Friday to reach the semi-finals of the Copa America where they will face Peru. The main fact of the match? An exclusion, that of Gabriel Jesus reduced to ten after the exclusion of Gabriel Jesus in the 48th minute. The Brazilian striker fouled Eugenio Mena, sending him a violent tackle with his foot forward.
The Chileans were therefore unable to take advantage of this numerical advantage. A goal by Eduardo Vargas in the 62nd minute was called off for offside after consulting the VAR and they hit the crossbar on a lobbed header (68th) from Ben Brereton.
Brazil-Peru had been the poster for the final of the last Copa, a match won 3 to 1 by the Seleçao who had offered their 9th title in the flagship competition of South American football.
