Match

=Summary=

Everton opened the score sheet for Brazil after 15 minutes from the kick-off with a low right footed volley from eight yards out after a Gabriel Jesus cross from the right. Peru were awarded a penalty after 44 minutes when the ball struck the hand of Thiago Silva, with Paolo Guerrero scoring with a low shot to the right corner of the net. Guerrero's penalty was the first goal that Brazil had conceded at the tournament. Brazil went back in front a minute later with a shot to the left corner of the net from inside the penalty area from Gabriel Jesus.

Gabriel Jesus was shown a red card after 70 minutes after picking up a second yellow for jumping into the back of Carlos Zambrano. Substitute Richarlison made it 3–1 in the 90th minute with a penalty, shooting low to the left corner after Everton was fouled by Zambrano.{{cite web|date=8 July 2019|title=2019 Copa America Final - Brazil 3-1 Peru - Match Report|work=beIN Sports|url=https://www.beinsports.com/en/copa-america-2019/video/2019-copa-america-final-brazil-3-1-peru-match/1236847|access-date=21 November 2020|archive-date=7 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201107234540/https://www.beinsports.com/en/copa-america-2019/video/2019-copa-america-final-brazil-3-1-peru-match/1236847|url-status=live}}{{Cite news|date=7 July 2019|title=Copa America 2019: Brazil beat Peru 3:1 to win first title in 12 years|work=BBC Sport|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48897389|access-date=21 November 2020|archive-date=2 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191202123819/https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48897389|url-status=live}}
