Results needed for Peru to qualify for the Copa America

Peru is not officially eliminated

The Peruvian team is in a critical situation after its recent defeat against Canada on the second date of the Copa América 2024. This setback left Peru in a complicated position in the table, with only one point accumulated, sharing the bottom of the classification with Chile. Despite this, Argentina’s victory over Chile keeps Bicolor’s hopes of advancing to the quarterfinals alive. To achieve this, the team led by Jorge Fossati needs a miraculous result in its last match against Argentina.

What Results Does Peru Need to Qualify for the Copa América?

To advance to the next round of the 2024 Copa América, Peru must finish in the top two spots in its group. This scenario will only materialize if the following conditions are met:

1. Argentina 0-1 Peru
2. Canada 0-0 Chile

With these results, Peru and Canada would be tied on points at the end of the group stage, but Peru would advance due to a better goal difference (0).
