- Chile and Peru ended their match in a scoreless draw in the tournament opener.
- The intense game showcased Bravo's exceptional goalkeeping skills.
Chile and Peru played to a scoreless draw in their Copa America Group A opener, with Claudio Bravo's standout performance in goal for Chile being the highlight of the match. Bravo, at 41 years and 69 days, made crucial saves to deny Peru's scoring opportunities, including a double save in the 79th minute. Despite a physical battle with 37 fouls and four yellow cards, neither team could break the deadlock. Chile's best chance came in the 16th minute when Alexis Sánchez missed an open goal opportunity. The match showcased a lack of quality in the first half, with both teams struggling to create clear-cut chances. Peru showed more intent in the second half but were unable to find a way past Bravo. The veteran goalkeeper's performance made him the oldest player in Copa America history, adding to the significance of the draw for Chile. The result leaves both Chile and Peru trailing behind Argentina in Group A, with upcoming matches set to determine their fate in the tournament. Argentina, the defending champions, started their campaign with a 2-0 win over Canada, who faced backlash after one of their players received racist abuse online following the match. The player, identified as centre-back Moise Bombito, was targeted for a tackle on Lionel Messi. The Copa America tournament features 16 teams from North and South America, with matches taking place across 14 U.S. stadiums until the final in Miami Gardens on July 14. Chile will face Argentina in a crucial match on Tuesday, while Peru will take on Canada in their next fixture.
