Peru vs Brazil: the emotional first call of the Botafogo goalkeeper for the Qualifiers

On the one hand, Brazil continues to add injuries ahead of the start of the Playoffs 2026. After the losses of Neymar, Vinicius Jr., Militao and Paquetá, now that of Bento, the Athletico Paranaense goalkeeper, is added. And on the other, new faces are added like Lucas Perri, Botafogo goalkeeper, who left an emotional moment when he found out about his call.

And it is that his club published a video in which it can be seen that Perri found out about his call when he was with the rest of the squad listening to a technical talk. The joy of his teammates made the goalkeeper emotional.

It is the first call for the goalkeeper, who was hired by Botafogo in mid-2023 after a good stage at Náutico. Little by little he has become one of the pillars of ‘Fogao’ to march as the leader of the Brasileirao towards the title, although they were eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana.

Likewise, according to information from the Brazilian press, it took four years for a Botafogo player to return to the ‘Canarinha’. For this reason also the emotion of his companions.

Finally, Brazil is concerned about its casualties with a view to the start of the Qualifiers in which it will face Bolivia at home and then come to Lima to face the Peruvian team. The duel is agreed for September 11 at the National Stadium.
