Peru began its Copa America Centenario campaign with a 1-0 win over Haiti courtesy of Paolo Guerrero's second-half header.
Record-breaker Paolo Guerrero inspired Peru to a 1-0 win over Haiti in their Copa America Centenario opener on Saturday.
Guerrero scored the only goal of the game at the CenturyLink Field in Seattle as Peru begin the special-edition tournament with an important win.
The goal also meant 32-year-old Guerrero moved above Teofilo Cubillas as outright all-time leading goal scorer for the national team with 27.
Peru was the better team throughout the game and should have taken the lead on the stroke of halftime when Guerrero set up Edison Flores, but the 22-year-old smashed his shot off the post.
