Brazil became the first country to qualify for next year s World Cup in Russia thanks to some help from fellow South Americans Peru.
Neymar starred with his 52nd international goal as high-flying Brazil overcame Paraguay 3-0 on Tuesday but the CONMEBOL leaders still needed a favourable result in Peru.
And Tite s men amid a nine-game winning streak since last year s Copa America Centenario benefited from Peru s 2-1 win at home to struggling Uruguay as the five-time world champions are assured of at least a fourth-place finish, officially stamping their ticket to Russia 2018.
Peru s victory, while keeping their own qualification hopes alive, left third-placed Uruguay 10 points adrift.

Brazil are back in qualifying action against Ecuador in the same month.
