Peru stunned Group A winners Colombia in the quarterfinals.

Giancarlo Carmona will return to the squad after missing the quarterfinal against Colombia through suspension. Defender Santiago Acasiete has also recovered from the muscle problems that made him miss the QF encounter against the Colombians.

Uruguay dumped hosts Argentina out of the tournament in the quarterfinals. Some brilliant goalkeeping from Fernando Muslera and some poor finishing from the Argentine forwards aided Uruguay in keeping the scores at 1-1 after Diego Perez was sent off in the 38th minute.The match went to penalties, where Uruguay got all five of their spot kicks on target to beat the Albicelestes.Perez, who scored the opening goal of the quarterfinal against Argentina, is therefore suspended for this semifinal clash against the Peruvians.
Argentina 1-1 Uruguay ( Diego Perez)
Uruguay 1-0 Mexico ( Alvaro Pereira)
Uruguay 1-1 Chile ( Alvaro Pereira)
Uruguay 1-1 Peru ( Luis Suarez)
Uruguay 3-0 Estonia ( Cacerers, Reintam, Lodeiro)
Verdict:- Uruguay have done the tough part by seeing off Argentina. Peru should be a piece of cake, but the Peruvians will be full of self belief after their excellent win over the Colombians.
Uruguay 2-1 Peru ( Suarez, Pereira/ Guerrero)
