The previous game: Uruguay 1 Bolivia 0

I'm seeing a 2-2 here in a fierce battle for the leadership of the group.
I hope this will be more entertaining than Bolivia-Uruguay.:S

Weird, the mexican Archundia is the referee but the linesmen one from Paraguay and the other one from Colombia.:o

I call it 2-1 Peru....too much with Farfan, Guerrero and Pizarro

Disallowed goal for Venezuela, it wasn't wrongly disallowed.
Peru is being fast in the midfield so far.

Venezuela seem better than in the first match from the go

Deserved red card for Peru

MUCH better game for Venezuela, I think Peru are still trying to do their game

Venezuela looks more threatening but Peru is not giving up easily, Venezuela wasted some chances.
Nice header by Peru after a cross of Farfan.

Man I wonder if venezuela wil get the goal, they look hungry but incapable

HT 0-0 Venezuela looked the better team...Peru look nothing like the team against Uruuay

HT 0-0.

So-so for now, a bit entertaining lacks chances and goals, Venezuela play looks interesting, however Arango has done nothing still. Peru looks fast when they get the ball but they aren't as threatening.

GOOL Venezuela !

Good job by Venezuela, now Peru will have to push to get the ball and create chances.

I think the venezuelan are starting to understand the thing, whistling when the rival passes the ball to their keeper and chanting "¡Olé! ¡Olé!" when their players pass the ball around not allowing the rival to get it.:o

Venezuela has to go and get this match they cant go and defend like they did against bolivia

Wow what do you think penalty or what?

The match is more entertaining now back and forth. The defense of Venezuela was shaky and Peru almost scores, was there a not called penalty in there? And then Venezuela answered with good shot from Maldonado saved by Butron.:o

i think it was

Ref. licks nuts.

smarter coaching by venezuela they bring a striker for a striker not like last game

Not even close to an offside. These refs need to go back to reffing U-8s.

Farfan was tearing up first half.

....goal for Venezuela.....2-0

What a dumb way to get redcarded, it looked like an offisde to me a tough call there, still Arizmendi scored, Venezuela wins 2-0.

What the **** was that free kick???:confused:

Oh well with some brawls but Venezuela still won the match 2-0.

fvkin mexican ref ... ***ed up Peru so bad...
(this is the same ref that ***ed up the canadeans by disallawin a clear goal against usa at the end of game; Gold cup Semi-finals)
first of all he didnt call in some obvious faults from both sides.. and that Obvious penalty that he didnt even see....:nape:

in the 2nd goal, it waz a clear fault by the venezuelan player and then they got drove the ball and score...

and at the end... he called in a FK for some stupid **** that no one even knew wat it waz for...

bout the red card... it waznt even that hard of a hit.. if you look at the replay u will see hez just tryin to get the venezuelan player off his back ....
but i guess most refs would have called that a red too :jambo:

Juggling the ball during a match equals a direct free kick for the other team, what the **** is that?:|

The offiside that ended up being in the red card of Paez was a correct call and a deserved second yellow card for him. But other than that he indeed messed up for both sides, the climax being the penalty for Peru.

Overall the match was different, better, in the second half Maldonado, by a tiny difference, was the man of the match. Venezuela won but they still make silly mistakes in defense.

wow... that ref totally robed peru for an equaliser... what kind of call was that

I think all in all the ref let them hit each other both ways he coul d have called a lot more fouls but he didnt, it was a derserved victory for venezuela, dont ask a team that is on the up and coming to win with class. a win is a win and it counts
