Copa America 2019: Brazil beat Peru 3-1 to lift title

Brazil have defeated Peru 3-1 to win their first Copa America title since 2007. Everton led the team to victory, scoring a goal and setting up another to give Brazil their ninth Copa América trophy, and fifth at home. Gabriel Jesus and Richarlison also scored a goal each for Brazil, who have won the title every time they hosted the tournament.

Everton was named player of the final and also finished as one of the tournament's top scorers with three goals. Brazil's veteran right-back Dani Alves was player of the tournament. Brazil won despite playing with 10 men from the 70th minute because Jesus was sent off with a second yellow card.

Peru scored through Paolo Guerrero but could not pull off one last upset after eliminating Uruguay in the quarterfinals and two-time defending champion Chile in the semifinals. Peru, who have been routed 5-0 by Brazil in the group stage and barely escaped early elimination, were trying to win their first Copa América trophy in 44 years. They had not made it to the final since they won their second South American title in 1975.

Brazil had not made it past the quarterfinals of the Copa América since beating Argentina 3-0 in the 2007 final in Venezuela. They did not even get past the group stage in 2016. The last time they won the Copa América at home was in 1989 when Romário scored the winner against Uruguay at the Maracanã. Brazil's only other title since 2007 came in the 2013 Confederations Cup, also at home.
