BUENOS AIRES, July 16 -- Uruguay defeated hosts Argentina 5-4 (1-1) on penalties on Saturday and advanced into the semifinals of the Copa America, and will face Peru next Thursday for a place in the final match.
The game took place in the "Brigadier Estanislao Lopez" Stadium, in the city of Santa Fe which is 476 kilometers north from Buenos Aires.
Defender Diego Perez scored the opener for the Uruguayans in the 5th minute, and striker Gonzalo Higuain from Real Madrid equalized 12 minutes later.
Both sides ended the game with 10 players due to the sent-offs of Perez (38th minute) and Argentina captain Javier Mascherano (86th minute).
The game was entertaining and dramatic, with the Uruguayan goalkeeper Fernando Muslera honored as the Man of the Match.
