Brazil - Copa America 2016 Results

In the 2016 edition, instead of the standard three groups format there were four groups. The four teams in all four groups play each other once and the top two teams progress into the quarterfinals. This is followed by the semi finals and finals.

The five time world champions Brazil needed just a point in their last group match against Peru to progress to the quarter finals. Instead they found themselves facing another disappointment in a major tournament by losing 1-0. Before this meeting Peru had not beaten Brazil in 31 years.
