Bengaluru, July 9: After falling short of their ultimate objective at Copa America 2021, Peru and Colombia will play for pride when they lock horns in third-place play-off in the capital city of Brazil on Friday (July 9).

Both teams had a remarkable campaign, but just fell short in the semi-final. Peru were unable to repeat their run to the final from two years ago as they narrowly lost 1-0 to Brazil, while Colombia were devasted after losing on penalties against Argentina.

Colombia battled to a 1-1 draw in regulation time with Luiz Diaz cancelling out an early opener from the Argentines. But the La Tricolor eventually lost 3-2 in the shootout thanks to Emiliano Martinez heroics.

As there is a high voltage encounter between Brazil and Argentina in the final, a third-place fixture is really not something most will be excited about. However, there is no doubt, the two teams will play for the pride.

Peru vs Colombia Key Players

Colombia: La Tricolor have been defensively compact in this tournament thanks to Yerry Mina's leadership and his presence at the backline has been a key factor. He will now face an attacking Peru side, who have scored eight goals already in this tournament.

The Everton defender will have to be alert of the movements of striker Gianluca Lapadula. If he can manage to keep him quiet with tight marking, Colombia can take the bite out of Peru’s attacks, and be on the driver's seat.

Peru: Renato Tapia has been the standout player for Peru in this tournament despite playing as a defensive midfielder. He was the only shining spot against Brazil bringing energy to Peru’s game and posing a challenge for Brazil’s impressive offence. He may have to maintain the same rhythm against Colombia for Peru to take the honours.
