Almost ten years to the day after Colombia defeated Peru 3 - 0 at the same stage in 2001, Peru have successfully navigated a quarter final in the Copa America after being defeated at the same round in the four previous tournaments.
Colombia became the first team to officially progress into the quarter finals with this 2 - 0 defeat over Bolivia, who will be left wondering what could have been had they not collapsed against a weakened Costa Rican team in game two.
Round two of the 43rd Copa America kicked off with the glamour tie of Group A: hosts Argentina facing Colombia, which soon settled into what was broadly a repeat of the two's dull performances from a few days before.
The second game of the 2011 Copa America saw Colombia take the lead at the top of Group A with a win over a mostly reserve Costa Rica side.
