Belo Horizonte (Brazil): Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus said after his match-winning display in Tuesday's 2-0 Copa America semi-final victory over Argentina that he'd had a premonition he would score.

Jesus, 22, opened the scoring on 19 minutes from a Roberto Firmino pass and then 19 minutes from time reversed the favor as Brazil qualified for their first Copa America final since 2007.

"I felt I would score. I'm not saying that because I scored. Other times I didn't say this," said the Manchester City forward. "I was very confident... and I managed to score in a great team performance. Firmino set me up really well. I'm delighted, not for the goal but for the team... We scored the goals, we're all delighted about the match, about the commitment, about the performance.
