Peru 0-0 Chile, Claudio Bravo and Paolo Guerrero make Copa America history

Peru and Chile played to a goalless draw in their Copa America match, with both teams failing to find the back of the net despite numerous opportunities. The standout performances of Claudio Bravo and Paolo Guerrero added a historic element to the game, as they both reached significant milestones in their respective careers.

Claudio Bravo, the Chilean goalkeeper, made his 125th appearance for his national team, becoming the most capped player in Chilean history. His impressive performance between the posts kept Peru at bay and ensured that Chile remained unbeaten in the tournament so far.

Qualifying, where they have jointly managed just four goals across 12 matches.

    Chile's Alexis Sánchez squandered the game's best opportunity in the 16th minute.

    The former Inter Milan and Arsenal forward missed a golden opportunity when he received Víctor Dávila's low cross in the six-yard box, only to send his effort soaring over the crossbar.

    "They started aggressively. I had two chances and this is the Copa America and you have to make them," Sanchez said.

    Unlike during the World Cup, the organizers have only short-term access to venues. At Hard Rock, a concert is scheduled for July 6, between the last group stage game and the final, and a new grass surface will be installed.

    At MetLife Stadium, where a semifinal will be played July 9, staff will look at it as a preview for the World Cup final on July 19, 2026. The stadium has a camera system designed by Arecont Vision and managed by Genetec Security Center that was installed before the 2014 Super Bowl and a new system by Axis Communications is being put in place this summer in the seating bowl with 80 8K, 41-megapixel cameras.

    On the other side, Paolo Guerrero, the Peruvian striker, also made history by becoming his country's all-time leading goalscorer with 38 goals. Despite not finding the net in this particular match, Guerrero's presence on the field was felt as he constantly threatened the Chilean defense.

    In conclusion, while both teams were unable to secure a victory in this match, Claudio Bravo and Paolo Guerrero's individual achievements added an extra layer of significance to this goalless draw. Their contributions to their respective national teams have solidified their places in football history and will be remembered by fans for years to come.
