Colombia controlled the pitch at Nu Stadium, topping Peru 2-0 behind a breakthrough performance from Daniel Arcila, who scored his first international goal. Samuel Velasquez opened the scoring—also his first career goal for La Tricolor—to put Colombia in front early.
Peru struggled to find creative space in attack and was ultimately overwhelmed late. The task became even steeper after Miguel Araujo was shown a straight red card just two minutes after coming off the bench, leaving Peru down to 10 men.
The match marked the final test for both sides in the current international window. Looking ahead, both squads will pivot to the next slate of friendlies as preparations ramp up for the 2028 Copa America in the United States, according to TyC Sports’ Gaston Edul.
