They will next meet either defending champions Brazil or
two-time winners Chile.
It was a dramatic tie, which finished 3-3 after normal time
and saw both teams receive red cards.
Peru recovered from a goal down, thanks to Gianluca
Lapadula’s first-half double at Estadio Olimpico Pedro Ludovico where Gustavo
Gomez had given Paraguay an early lead on Friday.
Paraguay lost captain Gomez to a controversial second
bookable offence just before half-time, yet they hit back through Junior
Alonso’s strike early in the second half.
Yoshimar Yotun appeared to have won the game for 2019
runners-up Peru with a deflected goal 10 minutes from time.
But Andre Carrillo was also dismissed and substitute Gabriel
Avalos levelled up in the final seconds to send the contest to penalty kicks.
Following the script of the previous 90 minutes, the
shoot-out was equally as eventful as four players failed to convert from 12
yards.
But the drama was ended when Miguel Trauco tucked away the
decisive spot-kick.
