Guerrero scores at the end and Peru divides the leadership with Chile

•      

• Peru plays better than Mexico, won with a goal at the end of Paolo Guerrero and virtually guarantees its place at the quarterfinals of the 2011 Copa America. Mexico gets complicated and needs a win against Uruguay to still have chances.
  Peru was better in the first half, working the ball in the midfield, but with no great scoring chances. Mexico's best chance was with Aquino, who took the rebound of the Chilean goalkeeper, but was caught by a defender and was unable to open the score in the first half, which had no other clear chance on goal.
  At the beginning of the second half, Peru began in full swing, and at 50 minutes created a great scoring chance from the left side, but did not take. At 58, Juan Vargas almost opened the score. The Peruvian entered the area, came face to face with the goalkeeper and kicked into the bar. Guerrero came up with another chance four minutes later, and kicked out.
  Peru was much better in the match, but lost precious chances to end the game. Vargas almost scored after a perfectly, but, unfortunately, free kick, which took the fork. Mexico tried to go on the offense with a few opportunities, and all without success. In one of the last plays of the game, the Mexican goalkeeper Luis Michel made miracle, by saving a head. Nevertheless, missing little to the end, Guevara kicked into the area and the striker Paolo Guerrero scored the winning goal for Peru.
  Mexico is virtually disqualified, but still has a chance of qualifying as one of the best third-placed. Peru already shares the lead with Chile. The leader Peru faces the other first place, Chile, on July 12, in Mendoza, while Mexico takes Uruguay, on the same day, in La Plata.
