Bolivia - Peru

A modest team of Bolivia has got hold of the quarter-finals and already this result is for them a great success, since they passed from the only group where the third place was not enough for the quarterfinals. They needed only one victory and that match against Ecuador was precisely the turning point. In the first duel they took advantage of the fact that Mexico was not at full strength and they played a draw without goals, and then they played two completely different duels. Peruvians realistically deserve to pass in the quarter-finals, because they have had a difficult group in which they were not outplayed and if they had a little more luck, they would have passed the group stage undefeated. In the first round they had a point in the pocket against the favoured Brazil, but they received a goal in the last minute. However, they have improved all of this in the second round when they defeated Venezuela, and in the third round showed that they can be tactical, so they against Colombia skilfully kept the zero that was enough for placement in the quarterfinals and the second place in the group, in front of Colombia. This is a great opportunity for both teams, because the stakes are high, the semi-finals, and that is why it is very likely that both teams will be very careful and that this will be a very tied match .
