Eugenio Corini’s side won the Serie B title last season to earn promotion, but their Coppa Italia campaign is already over.
Alfredo Donnarumma had put the visitors in front on the stroke of half-time, pouncing on a double defensive error to finish it off one-on-one.
It seemed to be a comfortable evening for Brescia, but deep into stoppages there was a surprise Perugia equaliser, as Jesse Joronen parried the first Federico Melchiorri effort, but could do nothing on the rebound.
The tie went to extra time and Perugia came out on top thanks to a ferocious long-range Cristian Buonaiuto screamer that swerved beyond helpless Joronen.
