Colombia defeated Peru to finish third in the 2021 Copa America.
Colombia beat Peru 3-2 in the 2021 Copa America 3rd place match at the Mane Gahinsha National Stadium in Brasilia, Brazil, thanks to an equalizer from Juan Quadrado and a multi-goal from Luis Dias.
Colombia, which finished third in 2016 by beating the United States, returned to third place in five years.
In addition, Colombia, who lost 2-1 to Peru in the group B match of the tournament on the 21st of last month, blasphemed for the defeat of the last match with this victory.
Peru, the runners-up team in the previous 2019 competition, finished 4th this year.
Peru took the lead.
During the counterattack in the 45th minute of the first half, Yoshimar Jotun finished the pass with his left foot from Cueva and took the lead.
Colombia turned the tide of the second half.
In the fourth minute of the second half, a right-footed free kick taken from outside the box by Quadrado shook the net to balance it, and Dias scored a comeback goal in the 21st minute of the second half.
Dias made it 2-1 with a neat right-footed shot after goalkeeper Camillo Vargas received a long kick and cleared an opposing defender.
Peru tied the game with a header from Rapadula in the 37th minute of the second half, but Colombia ended the game with Dias's thrilling right-footed mid-range shot at the end of extra time.
