SANTIAGO, Chile -- Sometimes you realize just how much home matters.
Eduardo Vargas' two goals against Peru on Monday carried him to the top of the Copa America scoring charts and Chile into Saturday's final.
After his second -- a vicious, swerving 35-yard smack that rose high and dipped low like an uber top-spin forehand in tennis before being swallowed up by the Peruvian goal - Vargas spun away and sprinted in celebration, fists pumping.
Maybe his mind flashed back to a December day in 2011 in this very stadium, perhaps the last time he enjoyed such a high.
