Chile vs Peru Match Preview
Chile look to rebound from their World Cup qualifying defeat to Argentina when they entertain Peru in the latest edition of the 'Derby of the Pacific' on Tuesday.
Chile were the victors when the sides met in Mendoza for the Copa America
Chile, who beat Peru 1-0 in the 2011 Copa America in Argentina, are generally very strong when playing in front of their home fans, and will be disappointed with anything less than the three points.
Coming into the match, Chile boss Claudio Borghi may have to find a replacement for star striker Humberto Suazo, who picked up a muscle injury during a recent training session. If he doesn't recover in time for Tuesday, he will be replaced by Mauricio Pinilla. While key attacker Alexis Sanchez is still out, after having suffered an injury setback with his club Barcelona, Sevilla midfielder Gary Medel will reinforce La Roja after completing a one-match suspension after he was sent-off against Venezuela in the Copa America.
While Peru are expected to sit-back and allow Chile to take the game to them, Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal assures that his side will push to the attack immediately from the kick-off.
"We have to come out looking for the game as soon as the referee blows the whistle. Like we have always done. Like we did against Argentina, which didn't work, but in the past games we have always done this," affirmed Vidal.
Peru, who played some excellent soccer in their 2-0 victory over Paraguay in Lima, will be after another three points, and if their team are so determined as they were on Friday they could really give Chile a run for their money. Sergio Markarian has all of his players at his disposal, including the 'fantastic four,' comprising of Paolo Guerrero -- scorer of both goals against Paraguay-- Juan Vargas, Jefferson Farfan and captain Claudio Pizarro.
Markarian is likely to field a slightly more defensive side than the one that featured on Friday, with Sporting Cristal defender Renzo Revoredo replacing Roberto Guizasola.
Chile vs Peru Match Report
Chile proved too strong for Peru with a valuable victory in the second round of South American World Cup qualifying on Tuesday.
Humberto Suazo fired home a penalty-kick
Claudio Borghi's side rebounded from their heavy defeat to Argentina last week, with a good victory that gives them three points from two games.
Goals from Waldo Ponce, Eduardo Vargas and Gary Medel put Chile in a comfortable position, before goals from Claudio Pizarro and Jefferson Farfan made the game very interesting. However, Humberto Suazo restored Chile's advantage from the penalty spot to put the result completely beyond Peru.
In an action-packed encounter, Chile went immediately ahead when Ponce headed the ball home from close-range just one minute in. In the 17th minute Vargas doubled their lead when he fired the ball home after good work from Jean Beausejour.
Peru were not even half the side that beat Paraguay comfortably in Lima on Friday, and they had to wait until the 37th minute to inflict any danger on the Chile goal, when Rinaldo Cruzado hit the woodwork.
Right before the break Peru hit the bar again, this time with an effort from Paolo Guerrero, scorer of both of Peru's goals last week.
The second period started in the same manner as the first, as two minutes in Medel added Chile's third with a tremendous long-distance missile that gave Peru goalkeeper Raul Fernandez no chance.
Two minutes later, Pizarro pulled a goal back for Peru, with a smart finish from an acute angle, and in the 59th minute Farfan brought the visitors back into life, when he met a dangerous Juan Vargas free-kick with a flicked header.
However, despite Peru's revival Suazo fired in a penalty-kick in the 63rd minute to hand Chile a well-deserved victory.
Peru, who were very vulnerable in defense, clearly demonstrated where their strength lies, as their attack had time to hit the woodwork once more before the match concluded.
