[ FOLLOW LIVE -- Peru vs. Paraguay ]
Peru finished third in the 2011 Copa America, while Paraguay lost in the final to Uruguay last time around.
Both sides surprised many to reach the semifinals of the tournament again this year, but bowed out in very different fashions.
Peru played over an hour of the first semifinal against Chile with ten men after Carlos Zambrano was sent off in the 20th minute, and it took a wondergoal from Eduardo Vargas to down the Peruvians 2-1.
