SANTIAGO: Chile qualified for the Copa América final on Monday after two goals from Eduardo Vargas gave them a 2-1 win over Peru in an action-packed semi-final.
Both sides started off well, but the dynamic of the match changed with the dismissal of Carlos Zambrano for a knee into the back of Charles Aranguiz, with Chile subsequently taking the lead through Eduardo Vargas just before the break.
Peru had to play with 10 men for most of the match after Carlos Zambrano, who was yellow carded in the seventh minute, was harshly sent off for a high challenge 13 minutes later.
Chile are now one match away from their first ever trophy when they will face either Argentina or Paraguay in the final.
