Peru shocked favoured Colombia on Saturday to reach the semi-finals of the Copa America with a 2-0 win in extra-time.
Colombia had won their group at the expense of hosts Argentina and, with highly-rated striker Radamel Falcao in their ranks, were expected to reach the semis against a side which just sneaked into the second phase as a third-placed pool finisher.
But Falcao was left kicking himself after the Porto forward missed a penalty in normal time. Carlos Lobaton smashed home the opener 11 minutes into extra-time and six minutes into the second period Juan Vargas drove in a left-foot shot to clinch a semi-final againstu00a0 Uruguay.
