Argentina, Colombia win at Copa America
Reserve Carlos Tevez scored on a free kick in the 61st minute to send Argentina to the semifinals of the Copa America with a 1-0 win over Peru on Saturday.
Aguilar one-timed a low right cross from Jairo Patino near the penalty spot in the 41st minute, and Tressor Moreno converted a penalty two minutes into first-half injury time after he was tripped up on a breakaway by goalkeeper Ricardo Gonzalez.
In the early game, Tevez, a 20-year-old star on Argentina's Boca Juniors club, bent a shot inside the left corner of the net and out of the reach of goalkeeper Oscar Ibanez just three minutes after he came off the bench, helping eliminate host Peru.
Peru received a free kick four minutes later, but Nolberto Solano's attempt hit the crossbar.
Argentina, the first to advance to the tournament's final four, will meet the winner of the Colombia-Costa Rica quarterfinal later Saturday. Roberto Ayala was sent off in the 82nd minute, forcing Argentina to finish a man down.
Argentina beat Peru for the 11th time in 16 Copa matches. |
