Peru vs Colombia Head to Head

Colombia will probably come into the 3rd place match as the narrow favorites in the betting. They pushed Argentina to their limit in the semi-final match-up in the week, but were eventually beaten in a penalty shootout. Argentina opened the scoring inside the opening ten minutes of the semi-final, as Lautaro Martinez fired home after six minutes. However, Colombia struck back just after the hour mark through Luis Diaz.

Colombia certainly gave as good as they got in the game, as they registered slightly more shots than Argentina and also had slightly more of the ball. However, it wasn’t to be for Colombia in the shootout, as they were beaten 3-2 in the shootout. Yerry Mina, Davinson Sanchez and Edwin Cardona missed from the spot to give Argentina the win they needed to set up a final date against Brazil.
