Coutinho ‘tricks in Brazil rout of Haiti
Print Edition
PHILIPPE Coutinho completed a hat-trick as Brazil routed Haiti 7-1 at the Copa America Centenario on Wednesday while Ecuador produced a gutsy fightback to thwart Peru’s push for a quarterfinal berth.
Coutinho conjured up the sort of form which made him one of Liverpool’s most potent attackers in the Premier League last season as the Brazilians outclassed Haiti in the first ever competitive meeting between the two nations.
The 23-year-old attacking midfielder grabbed his first two goals inside the first half hour of a one-sided Group B game in Orlando, in Florida.
Coutinho then claimed his third goal in injury time, curling in a spectacular shot to complete a fine night’s work.
Brazil’s other goals came from Renato Augusto (2), Gabriel Barbosa and Lucas Lima.
Brazil, which had drawn 0-0 with Ecuador in a lackluster opening game last weekend, now leads Group B on goal difference, level on four points with Peru, which was held 2-2 by the Ecuadorans in Glendale, Arizona on Wednesday.
