TEMUCO, Chile, June 25 (Reuters) - Peru striker Paolo Guerrero scored a hat-trick to give his side a comfortable 3-1 victory over Bolivia at the Copa America on Thursday, setting up a last-four showdown with hosts Chile.
Guerrero scored twice in three minutes midway through the first half to put the Peruvians in the driving seat in their quarter-final clash.
His first was a header from a Juan Vargas cross, his second came on the counter-attack after a Bolivia corner, and his third arrived in the 74th minute after Bolivian midfielder Danny Bejarano had gifted him the ball with a misplaced pass.
