Chile 0 Peru 3: Copa America holder crashes out in semifinal upset
The HinduChile's hopes of winning a third successive Copa America are over after a heavy 3-0 defeat against an impressive Peru in Porto Alegre on Wednesday. First-half goals from Edison Flores and Yoshimar Yotun, along with Paolo Guerrero's late sealer, dashed La Roja's dreams of equalling Argentina's record of three consecutive continental triumphs and sent Peru through to its first final since 1975. Though it only reached the knockout rounds as one of the group stage's two best third-placed teams, Ricardo Gareca's Peru was superior throughout and now faces host Brazil in Sunday's decider at the Maracana. Two-time Copa America winner Peru will hope to upstage Brazil in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, while Chile meets Argentina in the third-place play-off a day earlier.
