Brazil beats Chile at Copa America despite 2nd-half red card
By MAURICIO SAVARESEJuly 3, 2021 GMT
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) Defending Copa America champions Brazil defended strongly with 10 men to advance to the semifinals with a 1-0 win on Friday against Chile. Substitute Lucas Paquetá scored the only goal of the match only seconds before Gabriel Jesus was sent off early in the second half.
Paquetá’s winner to the left corner of Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo in the 46th minute gave Brazil fans some hope that the Selecao would ease into the next stage. But only two minutes later Jesus was sent off after hitting Chile’s Eugenio Mena with a flying kick.

Brazil substitute Lucas Paqueta scored in the 46th minute and it proved to be the winning goal on Saturday (AEST), despite Gabriel Jesus remarkable red card in Rio de Janeiro.
Jesus was sent off for a high boot to the face of Chile s Eugenio Mena two minutes after Paqueta s strike, but Tite s Brazil withstood an onslaught from La Roja to set up a final-four showdown with 2019 runners-up Peru.
Brazil had entered the clash having won their previous four Copa clashes with Chile – scoring 11 goals and conceding just once across the streak, while the team s 10-game winning streak was snapped following a draw against Ecuador in the final group-stage match.
