Hosts Brazil have also won their second game at the Copa America.

The defending champion beat Peru 4-0 on Thursday at the Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

Alex Sandro met in the 11th minute after a cross pass from Gabriel Jesus from close range.

In the 67th minute, Neymar increased with a low shot from outside the box.

In the 88th minute, Everton hit Ribeiro after a flat pass from Richarlison into the center of the box.

In stoppage time, Richarlison increased himself to 4-0 for the Seleção.

Previously, Colombia had not gotten past a 0-0 draw against Venezuela in Goiânia. Reinaldo Rueda's team found no means against the Venezuelan goalkeeper Wuilker Faríñez. "We failed to seize one of the many scoring opportunities," said the national coach after the final whistle. "I think Colombia looked for the game and created chances, but maybe the good game by goalkeeper Faríñez prevented us from turning it in our favor."

The South American continental tournament was only moved to Brazil a few weeks after Argentina dropped out as the host because of the second corona wave. The South American football association Conmebol then came under fire because Brazil is still a corona hotspot: More than 17.7 million people have been shown to have been infected with the corona virus there, and more than 495,000 people have died in connection with Covid-19 so far.
