International Friendlies, Brazil 0-1 Peru: 3 reasons why Tite's men lost

#2 Pedro Gallese saves the day for Peru

The Brazilians may have been wasteful up front, but on those rare occasions when they managed to hit the target, one man stood tall, masterfully thwarting Tite's charges.

The entire Peruvian defence put in a commendable performance. However, Pedro Gallese was probably Brazil's kryptonite as he made a couple of crucial saves, denying the likes of Richarlison in crunch situations.

In the 44th minute, he was on hand to punch Richarlison's vicious shot away from danger and he was also present to thwart Brazil in the 50th and 53rd minute. Those were match-winning saves if one takes into account the fact that the Brazilians only had 3 shots on target.

Also, Luis Advincula's last-ditch tackle on David Neres in the 20th minute was a thing of beauty as it saved Peru from going behind early in the game.

#1 Brazil's defensive blunder, late in the game

On the other end of the pitch, Ederson Moraes continued in goal as Alisson Becker's replacement.

The Manchester City keeper had a good game, making a couple of saves and marshalling his defensive line efficiently for much of the match. However, in the 85th minute, he came out to collect a ball off a routine corner kick and fluffed his lines.

At corners, a goalkeeper has to be firm and inch-perfect in his/her calculation. The fact that he's a goalkeeper in the very physical Premier League magnifies that error even more. Coming out for the ball in that situation and missing the flight is a fatal mistake, more often than not. And, that was certainly the case against Peru.
