2:05 Liverpool's Roberto Firmino scored a trademark 'no-look' finish for Brazil during their 5-0 demolition of Peru in their Copa America clash Liverpool's Roberto Firmino scored a trademark 'no-look' finish for Brazil during their 5-0 demolition of Peru in their Copa America clashBrazil overwhelmed Peru with three goals in a superb first half to set up a crushing 5-0 victory on Saturday and cruise into the Copa America quarter-finals. Looking like their imperious old selves in front of 42,000 fans at the Corinthians area, the host nation went ahead after 12 minutes when Casemiro nodded home after a goalmouth scramble and Roberto Firmino made it two seven minutes later after goalkeeper Pedro Gallese made a hash of his kick out. Firmino charged down the kick and the ball rebounded off the post but the forward picked up the rebound and rounded the 'keeper to roll the ball into the empty goal. The result, combined with Venezuela's 3-1 win over Bolivia, means the hosts top Group A and will play one of the two third-placed teams at the Gremio arena on Thursday. The only down side for Brazil was a second yellow card in three games for Casemiro, which means the Real Madrid midfielder will miss Thursday's quarter-final.
