Eduardo Vargas was inches away from reducing the score when his looping header knocked the woodwork in the 50th minute.

Peru puts the icing on the cake with a superb through ball from Tapia to Guerrero, who wheeled the keeper to make it 3-0 and send Peru to the Final.
Chile still won a late penalty thanks to VAR and Vargas missed a Panenka which resulted in an easy save for Gallese, Making the final score 3-0 to Peru .
The dark horses have knocked Uruguay and Chile. Now they’ll have a shot at revenge against the team that embarrassed them in the group stage, Brazil.
