Brazil and Peru would take centre stage in the CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers clash on Wednesday, September 13  at the Estadio Nacional de Lima in Lima District, Peru. Brazil were not in the best of forms in the lead-up to the marquee competition as they succumbed to defeat at the hands of Senegal 4-2.  However, in their tournament opener, they brought their A-game into play and registered an emphatic 5-1 win over Bolivia. Rodrygo and Neymar were the chief architects of the triumph as the duo penetrated the opposition's defence superbly and netted two goals each. Neymar Suprasses Pele To Become Brazil's Leading Goal Scorer, Achieves Feat During BRA vs BOL CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers.

They would look to show their class against the star-studded Brazil side and cause an upset.
