PERSISTENT PERU PASS POWERFUL PARAGUAY IN A PAINFUL PENALTY SHOOT OUT

An entertaining and eventful six-goal Copa América thriller in Goiânia saw Peru edge past Paraguay with a penalty shootout victory after a dramatic 3-3 draw, to book their spot in the semi-finals of this competition for the fourth time in five editions.

Paraguay made the most of an early spring in their step, pinning back Peru and drawing ahead from a corner after 11 minutes, despite a fine initial save from Pedro Gallese in goal, with Gustavo Gómez heading in the rebound. Suitably rattled, Peru perked up and drew level some ten minutes later, when Gianluca Lapadula tapped home a low cross.

Peru then went ahead after 38 minutes, when the Benevento man bagged his second, firing home from a difficult angle and exploiting some dreadful positioning from Paraguay goalkeeper Antony Silva. The tide turning in favour of Peru then became a tsunami, with Paraguay captain Gómez being sent off on the stroke of HT, and completing the pre-match favourites’ first-half capitulation.

Eduardo Berizzo’s side rallied after the break despite losing their captain, drawing level from another corner scored by another centre back as Júnior Alonso wriggled free at the back post and smashed the ball beyond Gallese. From that point, it was anyone’s game, and a penalty shootout looked increasingly inevitable as the minutes ticked by.

It took a hopeful effort from Yoshimar Yotún, and a wicked deflection for Peru, to finally make the most of their numerical advantage with just nine minutes of normal time to play. However, a late sending off for Peru’s André Carrillo evened the odds, and Paraguay tied things up at the death through Gabriel Ávalos to send the game to a penalty shootout.

The penalty shootout went to sudden death, after each side converted three of five penalties apiece. Alberto Espínola took penalty number six, seeing his effort saved by mere fingertips, opening the door for Miguel Trauco to slot home the winning penalty into the corner despite Silva diving the right way. A semi-final with Brazil or Chile now awaits Peru.

I feel that Peru is doing very well to be a finalist, maybe they can't get past the semifinal, but at least they could get further than other teams and like them I know that their country is proud of them for getting where they are. It really was a good game against Paraguay and it doesn't matter if they won in penalties, but what really matters is that they managed to win and go through.

What a match it was with lot of goals. Really a thriller. Good Peru came out victorious after getting the job done. Now they face a tougher match in the semi final when they face off inspiring Argentina.

If they can overcome the South American elite nation in their next tie, then the Copa America may just be theirs. Looking forward to see how it all goes on the coming days.

The Copa America as ended,but if all reviewing performance too is very important and Vital and I must say that the likes of Peru and other teams as really done well enough in that competition and let say kudos to the eventual winner Argentina and I must say that tournament was really talk of the town as Messi too was able to to break the international jinx on him if I may say,it was indeed a very good one from all the teams involved

Em Goiânia, um divertido e agitado thriller de seis gols na Copa América viu o Peru ultrapassar o Paraguai com uma vitória nos pênaltis após um empate dramático por 3 a 3, garantindo sua vaga nas semifinais desta competição pela quarta vez em cinco edições.

O Paraguai aproveitou o início da primavera em sua etapa, marcando o Peru e ganhando na cobrança de escanteio aos 11 minutos, apesar de uma boa defesa inicial de Pedro Gallese, com Gustavo Gómez de cabeça na recarga. Adequadamente abalado, o Peru animou-se e empatou cerca de dez minutos depois, quando Gianluca Lapadula marcou um cruzamento rasteiro.

O Peru então saiu na frente aos 38 minutos, quando o homem de Benevento fez seu segundo, chutando de um ângulo difícil e explorando um posicionamento terrível do goleiro paraguaio Antony Silva. A maré virando a favor do Peru se tornou um tsunami, com o capitão do Paraguai Gómez sendo expulso no golpe de HT, e completando a capitulação dos favoritos antes da partida no primeiro tempo.

A equipa de Eduardo Berizzo recuperou após o intervalo, apesar de ter perdido o capitão, empatando em mais um canto marcado por outro defesa central, com Júnior Alonso a libertar-se no poste da defesa e a rematar para longe de Gallese. A partir desse ponto, o jogo era de qualquer um, e uma disputa de pênaltis parecia cada vez mais inevitável à medida que os minutos passavam.

Foi preciso um esforço promissor de Yoshimar Yotún, e uma bela deflexão para o Peru, para finalmente tirar o máximo proveito de sua vantagem numérica, com apenas nove minutos do tempo normal do jogo. No entanto, uma expulsão tardia para André Carrillo do Peru igualou as chances, e o Paraguai empatou as coisas na morte por meio de Gabriel Ávalos para enviar o jogo para uma disputa de pênaltis.

A disputa de pênaltis acabou em morte súbita, depois que cada lado converteu três de cinco pênaltis cada. Alberto Espínola cobrou o pênalti seis, vendo seu remate ser defendido com a ponta dos dedos, abrindo a porta para Miguel Trauco marcar o pênalti da vitória para o escanteio, apesar de Silva ter mergulhado no caminho certo. Uma semifinal com Brasil ou Chile agora aguarda o Peru.

A Copa América acabou, mas se toda a revisão de desempenho também é muito importante e vital, devo dizer que nomes como o Peru e outras seleções se saíram muito bem naquela competição e gostaria de elogiar a eventual vencedora Argentina e devo dizer aquele torneio realmente falava da cidade, já que Messi também foi capaz de quebrar a maldição internacional sobre ele, se assim posso dizer, foi realmente um muito bom de todas as equipes envolvidas
