Reuters
It's the Peruvian hand of God, a moment that will forever live in the memory of Brazil's rightfully-bitter supporters.
For Peru midfielder Raul Ruidiaz guided the ball into the back of the net with 12 minutes to go in this must-win match for both sides, propelling Los Incas to a 1-0 lead over the mighty Brazil, and forcing referee Andres Cunha into making a big call.
That call proved controversial as the referee and his assistants took several minutes to come up with a final decision, under protest from both sets of players.
When all was said and done, Ruidiaz's goal stood and Brazil faced elimination from the Copa America Centenario.
