Chile had goalkeeper Claudio Bravo to thank for securing a 0-0 draw against Peru in their Copa América Group A opener on Friday. The teams nullified each other in a bruising first half that was low on quality, with the best chance falling to Chile’s Alexis Sánchez in the 15th minute, but the attacker sent his shot over the bar.

Peru came out with intent in the second half and created a number of promising opportunities, but Chile’s Bravo pulled off a string of saves to keep the scores level, including a remarkable double save to deny Gianluca Lapadula and Paolo Guerrero.

His performance in goal made it an even more special night for the former Barcelona and Manchester City goalkeeper, who at 41 years, two months and 16 days became the oldest Copa América player.

Canada Soccer said it was in touch with the sport’s governing bodies after one of their players received racist abuse online after their 2-0 loss to Argentina on Thursday. They did not reveal the player’s name but centre-back Moise Bombito received abuse online after a crunching tackle on Lionel Messi where he caught the Argentina captain on the ankle.

“Canada Soccer is aware of and deeply disturbed by racist comments made online and directed at one of our men’s national team players following tonight’s match,” it said. “We are in communication with Concacaf and Conmebol about this matter,” it said, referring to the soccer governing bodies for the Americas.

Argentina’s victory with goals from Julián Álvarez and Lautaro Martínez gave the defending champions three points while Canada are bottom of Group A.
