Defender's goal saves Brazil, in a weak match by the Brazilian team, in the end Marquinhos' goal saved the night. The amount of passing errors really harmed the Brazilian team's night against the Peruvian team.
The players were having a terrible night, they didn't get close to each other and they didn't seem to understand Fernando Diniz's style of play. The Peruvian team seemed happy with the draw, but with a lot of trickery.
Poor football, with few chances, despite the two goals being rightly disallowed by VAR, even though it took forever for the decision. The Peruvian goalkeeper had little work to do.
However, in the end, the defender's goal saved Brazil from a draw that would have cost them the lead in the qualifiers. See who did well and who did poorly in Brazil's 1-0 victory over Peru.
Brazilian full-backs are our biggest need
At first, Brazil had great milestones in its history, if we look back a few decades we will remember great names, such as Cafú and Roberto Carlos.
Of course, other great names will be remembered, Leonardo, Jorginho, Nilton Santos and other legends. However, this is a position that is lacking in our football.
And it's not hard to see this deficiency, seeing Danilo and Renan Lodi is sad to see, full-backs who only play backwards, who don't know how to support, even against a team like Peru.
There is a lack of movement, support, crosses, and at the end we see the play that led to the corner kick that ended up leading to Marquinhos' goal. When Martinelli makes the move to receive Neymar's pass, the corner kick comes.
During the game, the full-backs did not cross, and the few times that Lodi reached the goal line, he missed the cross. It is sad to see full-backs with little or no ability to occupy this position.
Looking at other players in the same position, we will see that we are facing a bad “crop” of full-backs, we need to see where we went wrong at the base. Or if there are good players who are not yet on the coach's radar.
Midfielder making too many mistakes in passing
First of all, we need to understand that Fernando Diniz brought a completely different game plan than what the players are used to playing. We noticed the charm of some athletes in their interviews.
Neymar and other players highlighted that in Europe the game is very positional, and that Fernando Diniz introduced something new to all of them. The question that remains is whether the coach will have enough time to implement his game in the national team.
What we saw yesterday was a very spaced team, the midfield was very distant, Casemiro made a lot of mistakes in passing, as did Bruno Guimarães. The way the ball came out was sad to see, the Peruvian team pushed the marking a little forward and caused a lot of problems.

Our midfield didn't create any chances, it seemed lost, faced with a new game plan. The one who tried to create the most chances was Neymar, even though he was having a bad day. Even Brazil's main player made mistakes in a way that hadn't been seen in a long time.
Of course, there is still a lack of understanding and understanding of Fernando Diniz's proposal, but this midfield needs to improve a lot. We can either believe that the players were having a day of little inspiration, or worry about this new game system.
Who saved the night? Defender's goal saves Brazil
Finally, defender Marquinhos was the Brazilian hero, during the match the defender marked well, but contributed little in the ball out.
Both Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhães barely touched the ball forward, the excess of lateral passes was quite annoying.

However, it was a perfect corner kick from Neymar and a header from Marquinhos that gave Brazil the victory. When everyone thought the game would end in a draw, Marquinhos saved the night.
Now it's time to take advantage of the break in the qualifiers and hope that the system fits together soon, after all, more difficult games will come.
