Copa America: Brazil 2-0 Argentina

Firmino scores from close range to book Brazil’s place in the Copa America final

Brazil forwards Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino both scored as they beat rivals Argentina 2-0 in the Copa America semi-final.

Jesus opened the scoring after 19 minutes when he sidefooted in a low cross from Firmino.

Sergio Aguero and Lionel Messi both struck the woodwork for Argentina, who have not beaten Brazil in a major competitive fixture since 2005.

A Firmino tap-in secured the win to set up a final against Peru or Chile.
