Brazil thumped Peru 5-0 to reach the Copa America quarter-finals by topping Group A.
The tournament hosts were far too good for Ricardo Gareca's side at Arena Corinthians on Saturday, scoring three goals in the first half and extending their run of Copa clean sheets.
Casemiro's first Brazil goal opened the scoring and Roberto Firmino quickly made it 2-0, with Everton's superb drive adding to the Selecao's lead before the break. Captain Dani Alves and Willian scored fine goals after the interval before Gabriel Jesus saw a late penalty saved.
The next opponents for Tite's side will be set when Groups B and C conclude, while Peru must wait for other results to see if finishing third behind Venezuela is enough to see them through.
