Goal on apparent hand ball eliminates Brazil from Copa America Centenario


Uruguayan referee Andres Cunha awards a goal to Peru late in its Copa America game against Brazil. And yes, its Copa America roster — losing talisman Neymar to the Olympics along with stalwarts Thiago Silva and others to coach’s preference — is decidedly watered down. Out Brazil is, though, after a 75th-minute cross Sunday in Foxborough, Mass., was swatted home by the outstretched arm of Peru’s Raul Ruidiaz. The Uruguayan referee, Andres Cunha, spent about four minutes of game time afterward seemingly conferring with assistants about the play through his headset. Seeing its 23-year Copa quarterfinal streak end, Brazil appears certain to spend much longer dwelling on the moment itself.
