Copa America 2021: Colombia beat Peru with late Luis Diaz winner
Colombia forward Luis Diaz scored a stunning 25-yard injury-time winner to help his country beat Peru 3-2 in their Copa America third-place play-off.
Yoshimar Yotun had given Peru the lead in the first half only for Juan Cuadrado to equalise with a free-kick shortly after the break.
Diaz then put Colombia in front before Gianluca Lapadula's 82nd-minute header levelled the match again.
A penalty shootout looked on the cards but Diaz scored in the 94th minute.
"We're happy - it was important to finish by winning," said Cuadrado. "I'm happy with how we reacted [to going behind] and how we went after the result."
Argentina, who beat Colombia on penalties in their semi-final, will play hosts Brazil, who beat Peru 1-0, in the final at 01:00 BST on Sunday in a game that will be live on 大象传媒 One and 大象传媒 iPlayer.
