    Time:120'
    • Colombia
    • Peru
    • 120' The referee blows the final whistle.
    • 119' The Peruvian fans greet every successfully completed pass with a massive roar. They know their team are going into the semis now.
    • 118' Rodallega is sent down the right flank but his cross is overhit.
    • 117' Josepmir Ballon replaces Paulo Cruzado.
    • 116' Every single Peruvian is back in their half. It's all Colombia but doesn't look like it would matter a great deal if Colombia grabbed a goal late on. Their defence has been outstanding today.
    • 115' Guarin's free kick hits the wall. even though they never looked ten yards away. Colombia's frustration grows.
    • 114' Falcao is brought down on the edge of the penalty area after beating two men.
    • 113' Colombia continue to battle and search for a goal that may get them back in the game. But you can't help feeling that it's all in vein.
    • 112' GOAL!! GAME OVER. Martinez's clearance is poor and it falls to Guerrero who bares down on goal. The striker then feeds his captain who takes one touch before lashing the ball into the back of the net.
    • 111' Jackson Martinez is warming up on the touchline. Is he going to be the final throw of the Colombian dice?
    • 110' It hasn't happened for Falcao since he missed that penalty. The striker receives the ball on the edge of the area but his touch again lets him down.
    • 109' Moreno has an effort from distance and it troubles Fernandez. The keeper parries the ball up into the air before collecting on the second attempt.
    • 108' Lobaton, who scored his first goal for Peru during the first half of extra time, has an effort from 20 yards but Martinez gathers with ease.
    • 107' It's important that Colombia keep their composure if they are to get back in to this match. They seem to have been rattled by that goal.
    • 106' The second half of extra time is under way.
    • 105' Rodallega's free kick is blasted over. The ref brings the first half to an end.
    • 105' Falcao does brilliantly on the edge of the area. He's under pressure but manages to fins some space before being brought down. Dangerous area for a free kick.
    • 104' Teofilo Gutierrez replaces Aguilar.
    • 103' Colombia are really trying to force it now. That's the first goal they've conceded in the tournament and it looks like it's going to send them home.
    • 102' What a finish from the substitute. The goalkeeper is claiming that he was fouled but it looks like he just flapped at the ball.
    • 101' GOAL!! Vargas delivers a deep free kick. Martinez comes flying out of his area to catch the ball but fails in doing so. The ball drops to Lobaton who drills it into the roof of the net from 18 yards.
    • 100' Colombia, as they did during the first 90 minutes, look the more likely to score. They are keeping the ball very well and are looking for gaps to appear.
    • 99' Great play. Rodallega wins the ball deep in the Peru half. He holds the ball up well and plays in Armero. The marauding wing-back goes one-on-one but can only hit the keeper.
    • 98' Guarin has a great chance to cross but he again tries to do too much. The midfielder attempts a flick past Rodriguez and loses the ball. Waste.
    • 97' Rodriguez barges into the back of Guarin and concedes a free kic. He needs to be careful as he's already on a yellow card.
    • 96' Victor Yotun is going to come on for his fifth international cap. He replaces the injured Chiroque.
    • 95' Rodallega leads the counter attack for Colombia but kicks the ball into touch as Chiroque goes down holding his hamstring.
    • 94' Peru are sitting very deep at the minute. I'm sure there are a lot of tired legs out there but sitting back may not be the best option.
    • 93' Guarin's centre is attacked by Falcao. The striker rises highest but is unable to get anything on the ball.
    • 92' Instantly Vargas has a chance. The forward surges down the left flank before cutting inside. He then unleashes a shot from the edge of the area that is only just tipped away by Martinez.
    • 91' Extra time is under way.
    • 90+2' That's the end of full time. We'll have 30 extra minutes.
    • 90+2' Guarin cuts in from the left and shoots from the edge of the area. Fernandez manages to get his fingertips to the ball as it rattles the bar.
    • 90+1' Aguilar goes long for Armero who crosses but Ramos clears to the half way line.
    • 90' Moreno runs down the right flank and goes down theatrically. Nobody is fooled and Peru win a goal kick.
    • 89' Colombia still have not conceded in this tournament. Is that going to change in the next few minutes? I doubt it, but you never know...
    • 88' Cruzado wins the ball in the centre circle and ventures forward. He elects to shoot from distance but it flies way wide of the left post.
    • 87' Guarin's corner is gathered by Fernandez who launches the ball up field instantly.
    • 86' Falcao's touch lets him down on the edge of the Peru area. That could have been a good chance. The striker doesn't seem to have recovered from that penalty miss.
    • 85' Four out of the last five meetings between these two sides have ended in a draw. Something is going to have to change quickly if extra time is to be avoided.
    • 84' Ridiculous. Guarin does well to beat his man before audaciously shooting from distance. It goes nowhere near the goal.
    • 83' Peru are back in numbers when Colombia attack. They look very hard to break down.
    • 82' Zuniga plays his keeper into trouble with a poor back pass. Martinez smartly flicks the ball up to volley away under pressure from Vargas.
    • 81' Balbin strikes the ball from 30 yards and it is flicked over the bar by a diving Martinez.
    • 80' Guerrero and Chiroque link well. Yepes has to come across and put the bal out for a throw. Peru keep up the attack.
    • 79' Peru have just one win in their last ten against Colombia. Nolberto Solano scored the winner in their last victory. They could do with the little wing wizard today.
    • 78' Aguilar's corner is again met by the towering Yepes, but his header is sent over once more.
    • 77' Peru give the ball back to Colombia following the restart. Falcao wins a corner off Ramos.
    • 76' Chiroque gets away from two players but is absolutely floored by a big tackle from Moreno. The referee stops play, even though it wasn't a foul, to allow the trainer to see to the Peruvian.
    • 75' Rodallega has scored some important goals in his careere before, possibly most famously the winner for Wigan against Stoke on the final day of last season, and he'll want to make a similar impact for his national side by putting them into the semi-finals.
    • 74' Colombia have looked the most likely to score so far. Peru haven't really had a great chance to score but are still level in this tie and will look to snatch that all important opener, and possibly the winner.
    • 73' Rodallega will come on and is going to replace Hetha Berlin's Ramos.
    • 72' Hugo Rodallega is warming up on the touchline. The Wigan man will want to make a big impact, if and when he comes on.
    • 71' Guarin produces some neat skills in the centre circle and attempts to find Zuniga. The pass is never on and is cut out. He tried to force that.
    • 70' Zuniga is dispossessed on the edge of the Peru penalty area which allows Vilchez to start an attack. The ball reaches the Colombian box but Perea makes a fantastic challenge to stifle the attack.
    • 69' That missed penalty seems to have made Colombia more determined to get the first goal. Is the script written for Peru to snatch a winner. I wouldn't be surprised.
    • 68' Moreno again flies down the right and takes on Rodriguez with a few step-overs. The sriker lashes a shot towards goal but it cannons back off the near post.
    • 67' Moreno receives the ball on the far right of the penalty area and crosses for Falcao. The striker manages to get his foot on the ball but cannot direct his effort on target. The flag was raised.
    • 66' MISSED PENALTY. Falcao steps up and uncharacteristically blasts the ball wide. Still 0-0.
    • 65' PENALTY!!! Moreno latches on to a long ball but is pulled down by Rodriguez.
    • 64' Guarin is pulled back by Lobaton when Peru looked like they were pressuring the Colombians into giving up possession.
    • 63' Yepes finds Moreno with a fantastic ball over the top. The striker's first touch is great and allows him a shot on goal but the effort flies wide of the far post. Good chance.
    • 62' Guerrero has a chance to release Vargas but takes too long. The striker then attempts the ball when it's not on and it runs out for a goal kick.
    • 61' It's a little scrappy for the moment. A number of fouls have been given and the ball is just being pumped up field.
    • 60' Lobaton's delivery is met by Guerrero but the header flies over.
    • 59' Guarin is back on the field. Chiroque is fould by Sanchez in a dangerous area of the field. The big defenders pack the box for the free kick.
    • 58' It appears that Guarin kicked the floor under pressure from Lobaton. The Colombian is taken off the field on the stretcher. He does look in some discomfort but he'll probably be able to return.
    • 57' The Porto midfielder is still down on the floor after that challenge. The stretcher is on.
    • 56' It's still a very tight and cagey affair. Lobaton receives the ball in the box but his touch lets him down. He fouls Guarin trying to get it back.
    • 55' Colombia are trying to slow down the pace of the game that Peru are controlling at the minute.
    • 54' Guerrero again takes the ball down the right but is lifted into the air by Moreno. Free kick.
    • 53' Lobaton crosses for Chiroque. The ball is dangerous and is cut out by Perea's diving challenge. It falls to Cruzado who shoots from distance. It flies just wide.
    • 52' Guerrero runs down the left and checks his run before advancing past Yepes. The forward ignores the shouts from Chiroque and shoots. It rolls tamely into the arms of Martinez.
    • 51' Guarin bursts down the right. He beats two men before attempting to pull the ball back to Falcao who is standing on the penalty spot. It's cleared.
    • 50' Chiroque cuts in from the right and unleashes a left-footed effort towards goal. It looks to be flying in but Martinez manages to get a palm to it and put it out for a corner.
    • 49' Guerrero produces a back heel in the corner to allow Balbin to cross. Vargas races towards the ball but fails to get there before Yepes, who clears.
    • 48' Carlos Lobaton replaced Advincula at half time.
    • 47' Peru are playing in their sixth consecutive quarter-final. They have lost in each of the previous four. Can they get through this very close match today?
    • 46' Peru get the second half under way.
    • 45' The referee brings the first half to an end.
    • 44' Zuniga wins a corner much to the disgust of Rodriguez. Guarin's corner is met by Yepes but the captain's header is sent over.
    • 43' Vargas and Guerrero play a neat one-two in the penalty area. Guerrero crosses from a tight angle. Perea's diving header clears the danger.
    • 42' Vargas' corner is dangerous. Martinez wants to come but decides against it. Perea clears but only as far as Guerrero who is on the edge of the box. His pass is hit too hard and the ball runs out for a goal kick.
    • 41' Colombia attack from the free-kick. Moreno's centre is met by Falcao but the striker's header is sent wide. The flag was up anyway.
    • 40' Guerrero does very well to win a free kick near the left corner flag. He goes down easily and the ref buys it. The free kick is poor and Colombia clear.
    • 39' Guarin's second corner isn't as dangerous as his first and is cleared at the near post. Armero sends the ball back in but it rolls out for a goal kick.
    • 38' Guarin's corner is met by Ramos and falls to Moreno. The striker's shot is deflected wide.
    • 37' Zuniga flies down the right wing and sends in a teasing ball. Ramos' diving header clears for a corner.
    • 36' It's fair to say that during the opening 35 minutes both defences have been on top. There has been no real chance, yet.
    • 35' Armero flicks the ball through the Peru defence to find Moreno. The midfielder corsses first time towards the two strikers. Fernandez is off his line quickly to gather.
    • 34' Vargas receives the ball 30 yards from goal and attempts a shot. The ball bounces just in front of Martinez and the keeper gets down very well to parry away to safety.
    • 33' Vargas' first cross is poor and fails to beat the first defender. He gets a second go at it though, and nearly finds Guerrero. Martinez gathers.
    • 32' Aguilar barges into the back of Chiroque and concedes a free-kick in his own half. Needless, that.
    • 31' Chiroque shows a very good turn of pace and surges into the Colombia half. He gets near the corner flag but his attempted cross is put in to touch by Perea.
    • 30' Colombia are enjoying a decent spell of possession at the minute. They attack down the right again. Guarin's cross is cleared at the front post.
    • 29' Peru win a corner. Cruzado finds Guerrero but the number nine volleys over.
    • 28' All of Peru's attacks seem to go through Vargas. He looks very dangerous. The Peruvian again beats two defenders but his cross is very poor and it is cleared.
    • 27' Rodriguez's clearance is poor and falls to Moreno. The striker passes to Falcao on the edge of the box but his shot flies over the bar.
    • 26' Peru break from the corner but Aguilar comes across and just blocks off Guerrero. Smart foul.
    • 25' Guarin crosses from the right and it's a very dangerous ball. Corridor of uncertainty-type stuff. Revoredo does well to put it out for a corner.
    • 24' Yepes attempts to pick out Moreno with a ball over the top but the flag is up.
    • 23' Falcao and Aguilar exchange passes on the edge of the Peru penalty area and the former manages to get a sight at goal but Christian Ramos gets in front of the striker and ushers the ball out for a goal kick.
    • 22' You can see the determination from the Peru players who refuse to give the Colombians any time on the ball.
    • 21' Vargas cuts in field and unleashes an outrageous effort from 30 yards. It has Martinez scrambling but the ball flies wide.
    • 20' Guarin again tries to beat Rodriguez but the defender stays with him and manages to win a goal kick.
    • 19' Colombia are now controlling the play, switching the ball from left to right.
    • 18' Vargas, who is looking very dangerous down the left, tricks his wat past a defender before laying the ball off to Advincula. Martinez comes a long way off his line as he attempts to catch the cross. The keeper gets there but can only punch. It's weak, but it's enough.
    • 17' Armero is very busy. He is controlling the middle of the park. He receives the ball, passes and then moves. The player manages to produce a Cruyff turn as he tries to set up an attack for his team.
    • 16' Guarin loses the ball deep in the Peru half and attempts to make up for his mistake. He chases Vilchez down but commits a foul.
    • 15' Balbin reads play excellently and gets in front of his man to cut out a very dangerous pass. From the interception Peru attack.
    • 14' Vargas does very well down the left wing as he tricks his way past one defender before crossing. Ramos attempts to get his head on the ball but Perea sneaks in front of him to clear.
    • 13' Peru have the ball deep in the Colombia half but are pressured back into their own half and finally give the ball back to Fernandez in goal and the keeper clears.
    • 12' The corner is a dangerous one but captain Yepes manages to rise highest and head clear. He doesn't look like being beaten at all today.
    • 11' Perea gives away a corner needlessly. The defender intercepts the ball but then headers it into touch under no pressure at all. Strange.
    • 10' Peru have now settled and are knocking the ball around well in their own half.
    • 9' Colombia win a free-kick deep in the Peru half and take it quickly. Armero bursts into the box and attempts to cross for Falcao but the keeper gathers.
    • 8' Perea and Vargas go into a heavy challenge after the Colombian is sold short by his team mate. Both players go in fairly but Perea is hurt. He's down on the floor at the minute.
    • 7' Ramos attempts a lobbed through ball towards Advincula but Yepes manages to stretch out a leg and intercept.
    • 6' The Colombians have seen a lot of the ball in the opening minutes. Guarin wins a corner.
    • 5' Vargas runs down the right flank and attempts to cross. The ball hits Yepes' hand and goes out for a corner. Vargas appeals for the handball but it falls on deaf ears.
    • 4' Peru are playing a very high line and are pressuring the Colombians deep in their own half. Zuniga attempts to take on Rodriguez down the right but the ball runs out for a goal kick.
    • 3' Falcao cuts in between two defenders and surges into the penalty area. Unselfishly he shifts the ball to his left towards the onrushing Aguilar but the shot flies wide.
    • 2' Straight away we have a booking. Advincula does well to win the ball but overruns it. He then lunges into a tackle and fouls Aguilar.
    • 1' Referee Francisco Chacón Gutiérrez gets the quarter-final under way.
