Peru beats Colombia to keep hopes alive at Copa America MORE:
Sergio Peña opened the scoring for the Peruvians in the 17th minute. Miguel Borja equalized from the spot in the 53rd but an own goal 11 minutes later by Colombian defender Yerry Mina decided the match at the Olimpico stadium in Goiania.
"This gives us a lot of hope in what is to come at this Copa America," Peru defender Renato Tapia said. “We are in a good position, but we have to keep rowing to go farther.” Peru opened the scoring with Peña burying the ball in the back of the net from the edge of the box. Borja's equalizer, after he was brought down in the area, gave the impression Colombia had momentum.
“You pay a high price for mistakes and now we have to face Brazil on Wednesday," Colombia's Wilmar Barrios said. “We are still missing something."“We are still lacking that pass in the last 20 meters so we can leave our forwards one-on-one, and then have the ease to finish,” said Rueda, who is under criticism at home for not bringing midfielder James Rodriguez to the South American championship.
