The road to the 2019 Copa America title stops at the quarterfinals for Uruguay and Barcelona’s Luis Suárez thanks to a historic win by Peru on penalties after a 0-0 draw in normal time. La Celeste had three goals disallowed and created a whole lot of chances to win, but could not find the back of the net. Luis Suárez then missed a key penalty, and the Peruvians are through to the semifinals to face Arturo Vidal and Chile.
Wow. Just wow.
FIRST HALF
Unlike their game against Brazil at the end of the group stage, Peru looked much more solid in the first half, keeping the ball well and not making any bad mistakes at the back, and thanks to a Uruguay team that once again had problems with midfield creation they avoided going down early and always looked a threat when Cueva and Guerrero got on the ball.
