Peru 3 Chile 0: Aquino brace caps dominant display

Enzo Roco's own goal and Pedro Aquino's second-half double saw Peru end their run of back-to-back defeats following the World Cup.

Substitute Pedro Aquino scored a late brace as Peru claimed a deserved 3-0 victory over South American rivals Chile in an international friendly in Miami on Friday.

It was a dominant performance at Hard Rock Stadium, where Peru were rewarded for their superior display thanks to an Enzo Roco own goal and Aquino's second-half double.

Chile defender Roco turned the ball into his own net just past the hour-mark before Aquino sealed the win with two goals in 11 minutes as Peru snapped a run of back-to-back defeats following the World Cup.
