Good night in rio

Welcome to our live coverage of the America’s Cup group match between hosts Brazil and Peru at the Olympic Stadium.

Selecao began their campaign with a decisive 3-0 victory over Venezuela on Monday, with Marquinhos, Neymar and Gabriel Barbosa scoring goals.

Before the team’s second game, manager Tite did not deal with any major issues, but had many options to choose from.

However, what is certain is that the Brazilian coach will not make any major changes after the outstanding performance of the team against Jose Pesero.

Therefore, Neymar is expected to start again with many Premier League stars such as Liverpool’s Allison, Manchester United’s Fred, Everton’s Richardson and Manchester City’s Jesus.

Paris Saint-Germain star Marquinhos will also be part of the starting lineup and will partner with Real Madrid ace Ed Mirita.

Although he scored in the game against Venezuela, Barbosa is most likely to start off the bench, with Neymar, Richardson and Jesus leading the offense.

On the other hand, Peruvian coach Ricardo Garreca seems to be more keen to cultivate young talents recently, which is why he ignored several key players such as Raul Rudiaz and Paul Guerrero.

However, Al-Fateh ace Christian Cueva is still expected to start, and should join Gareca’s starting lineup with Emmen star Sergio Pena
