Uruguay book Argentina date

Uruguay beat Mexico 1-0 in the Copa America to set up a mouth-watering quarter- final clash with Argentina, while Chile finished top of Group C after a 1-0 win over Peru.

Mexico, who were effectively fielding an under-22 side, exit the competition after three consecutive defeats. Chile top the group, with Uruguay in second place and Peru third. All three sides progress to the quarter-finals.

World Cup semi-finalists Uruguay, having drawn their opening two matches, took the lead through Alvaro Pereira after 14 minutes, the midfielder taking advantage of a deflection from a Diego Forlan free-kick.

Chile, looking to win the competition for the first time, needed a 92nd minute own-goal from Andre Carillo to beat a stubborn Peruvian side.
