Chile v/s Peru

After the match in which Chile won 1-0 against Uruguay, we moved on to the semi-finals. And yesterday, we knew that we are going to deal with Peru to move on again, but this time directly to the final of the American Cup.

I think this is a great step for Chile because we are dealing with great football players and it seems that we have a lot of possibilities of winning this tournament.

The only thing that we are specting to know now is which country are we going to play against in case we move on to the final. It could be Argentina, Colombia, Brazil or Venezuela.
