Chile reached the Copa America last eight by claiming top spot in Group C with a 1-0 victory over Peru in Mendoza. More
90+4' All over! Valdivia booked in the dying seconds, but it doesn't matter as Chile complete the victory. A fine night for them and a 1-0 win.
90+2' GOAL FOR CHILE! An own goal from a Peru shirt in a crowded box and that is surely the winning goal. Ball just hit off a white shirt after Libman had missed the corner. The goal has been given to Corzo of Peru.
90+1' Ramos gets back to hack the ball away from Suazo. Looked a certain goal, but another near miss for Chile.
86' Estrada is booked for Chile for a late challenge on Ruidiaz.
85' What a chance for Chile! Jimenez in plenty of space at the back post, but he can only head wide of goal. Chance gone.
81' Chiroque on the run for Peru before he is fouled. Libman is then booked for time-wasting in the Peru goal.
80' Sanchez bangs the shot over the wall from 25 yards. Shot was always on the rise as it flies over the bar. Unlucky.
79' Ponce wins himself space in the area from Estrada's long free-kick, but he can only glance the header wide of goal. Almost the breakthrough for Chile.
76' Medel arrives to take over from Silva for Chile.
74' Gonzales departs to be replaced by Carillio for Peru. Their third and final change of the match.
73' Suazo is offside from Ponce's long ball up the park.
70' Chiroque with an execellent chance to tuck home the opener, but he cracks the ball wide of goal. A mishit really. Golden chance for Peru.
66' Guevara departs to be replaced by Lobaton.
62' Jimenez goes for goal from distance, but he has cracked Suazo with the ball. Suazo deemed to be offside. End of attack.
60' Jean Beausejour is also off the park for a bit of raising of the arms. So both teams down to 10 men. All a bit chaotic.
59' A second yellow card for Carmona and he is off the park. Carmona off for raising his hands from what I can detect. Peru down to 10 men.
58' Going to be a booking here. Bit of wrestling between the players after Ramos fouled Sanchez. Ramos is booked for that one.
57' Sanchez and Jorge Valdivia are introduced for Chile. Perhaps these two changes could be what Chile need to make the breakthrough. Paredes is off to be replaced by Sanchez.
50' Change for Peru in the second half as Vilchez takes over from Acasiete.
47' Lovely cross from Jimenez to the back post, but Paredes could only head into the side netting. That was a real chance for Chile, but no goal.
46' We are off and running for this second period. Peru start the second half.
45+1' There goes the whistle for the end of the half. Chile have enjoyed the better moments, but we are level at 0-0.
39' Ponce goes too soon and is deemed to be offside..another chance bites the dust for Chile. Peru will be happy to get to 0-0 level at the break.
36' Ponce lets Guevara's free-kick fly beyond him and Ballon almost turned that in at the back post. A mighty scare for Chile.
34' Suazo mishits a volley in front of goal. Was a chance from Beausejour's cross, but mishits his effort as the ball flies wide of goal.
19' Revoredo is booked for a late challenge on Suazo. Bad tackle really. Rightly booked.
17' Corzo throws over an excellent little ball. Was far from the worst delivery in the world. Just flies wide of the Chile goal. Better play by Peru on the break.
14' Estrada bounds up the park before unleashing a shot from distance that flies inches wide. Some more impressive play from Chile it must be said.
13' Suazo with the shot! Deflects off a white shirt, but inches wide. No luck for Chile in front of goal.
11' Beausejour almost sets up Parades. Fine run and cross, but Chile can't get the ball over the line. So close to the opening goal.
9' Several changes for Chile this evening, but the first yellow card of the evening goes to Corzo for a late challenge there.
6' Great run and shot by Chiroque, but he fires the ball narrowly over. Lovely piece of skill from distance.
1' Chile in red get us off and running in this one.
