Brazil drubs Peru

MANILA, Philippines — Hosts Brazil continued their perfect start to the Copa America as goals from Alex Sandro, Neymar, Everton Ribeiro and Richarlison gave them a 4-0 win over Peru in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday.

It was a ninth straight win for the Selecao who top Group B with a perfect six points from two games, while Peru fell to the bottom.

There was little between the two sides in the first half but Brazil’s greater quality made the difference after the break.
