FIFA World Cup: Central defender Marquinhos struck late as Brazil clinched a 1-0 away victory over Peru in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier here.
Brazil controlled most of the possession at Lima's Estadio Nacional but struggled to create scoring chances against a compact and disciplined Peru defense, reports Xinhua.
That changed, however, in the 90th minute when Paris Saint-Germain captain Marquinhos met Neymar's corner at the near post and flicked a looping header across goalkeeper Pedro Gallese and into the far corner.
