Two second half goals, Manchester City-bound Gabriel Jesus scoring the first and setting up the second for Renato Augusto, gave Brazil the points in Lima against a home team that played well for no reward. "I am working hard, quietly, hoping to help my team mates on the pitch," the 19-year old striker told TV Globo after the game. The result was a trifle harsh on Peru, who hit the post early on and were not overawed, particularly in an even first half. The result marked the first time since 1969 that Brazil have won six consecutive qualifying matches for the same tournament. Brazil now lead the table with 27 points from 12 games, four more than second-placed Uruguay.
