    Pekerman keeps Colombia in the hunt

    Jose Pekerman's first official game as Colombia boss saw them edge past Peru 1-0 in the fifth round of South American World Cup qualifiers. Porto's James Rodriguez scored the only goal of the game to ensure the visitors remain well-placed on the road to Brazil 2014. After an uneventful first half, Rodriguez finished a good move involving Freddy Guarin and Dorlan Pabon with a precise left-footed touch. After that, Colombia were happy to let Peru have the ball and defend their lead - and the hosts were unable to break through. The win puts Colombia fifth in the standings with four games played, while Peru remain eighth.
