Video: Peru, Colombia Highlights from Copa America 2011 (July 16)
Colombia and Peru faced off in the quarterfinals of Copa America in Cordoba, Argentina, on Saturday.
Peru reached the semifinals for the first time since 1997 with the 2-0 win in extra time.
Midfielder Carlos Augusto Lobaton scored from inside the penalty area in the 101st minute. Minutes later, Juan Manuel Vargas gave the insurance goal with a shot from near the penalty spot in the 111th.
Colombia could have won the game in regulation, but star striker Radamel Falcao missed a penalty kick in the 65th minute. Falcao is the subject of multiple transfer rumors.
Colombia went into the match as somewhat of a title favorite after excellent play in the group stage and after not conceding a goal in all three matches.
Peru advances to Santa Fe for a possible chance to reach the Finals -- an amazing prospect for a country that has historically struggled in the tournament.
