The underdogs have shocked the continent. Again. If knocking out Uruguay in the quarterfinals wasn’t enough, Peru eliminated Chile in the semifinal and will now face Brazil in the 2019 Copa America final thanks to a spectacular 3-0 victory in what will go down as one of the most unforgettable games in the history of the tournament.
Barcelona’s Arturo Vidal injured his ankle early in the game and was not himself, but Chile never would have had a chance. This is all about Peru, their warriors on the pitch, an incredible coaching performance by Ricardo Gareca, and a shot at history next Sunday at the Maracanã.
