Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus sent Brazil on their way to the final of the 2019 Copa America early on Wednesday morning, securing a clash in the showpiece fixture against either Chile or Peru.

Jesus was a big part of Brazil’s triumph over their arch-rivals Argentina, led by none other than Lionel Messi.

The 22-year-old forward opened the scoring for the eventual winners before Roberto Firmino secured the victory in the second-half.

The interesting thing was that Jesus used the hashtag “EZ” in the captions of the snap, which is urban slang for “easy”.

This, in itself, was rather gutsy considering that they still have a final to play and nothing’s won just yet.

Still, that urged one of the most prominent names in the footballing world, Neymar, to reply to his compatriot’s post.

Interestingly, Neymar seemed to find this hilarious and he posted a series of laughing emojis followed by the word “EZ” as well, echoing Jesus’ initial opinion.

But regardless of what Neymar and Jesus thought of the game, it was anything but easy with Argentina hitting the post twice and limiting Brazil to four shots.

Still, the hosts were more lethal and they advanced to the final whether it was easy or not.
