LA PLATA, Argentina — Luis Suarez scored in the 53rd and 58th minutes to lead Uruguay past Peru 2-0 on Tuesday and into the Copa America final.

Uruguay, which reached the semifinals of last year's World Cup, will be looking for a record-15th Copa America title in Sunday's final against either Paraguay or Venezuela, who meet in the other semifinal Wednesday in Mendoza. The final will be played Sunday in Buenos Aires.

Peru, which was the worst team in South American World Cup qualifying just a year ago, has been one of the surprises of the South American championship and has played without its top two forwards Jefferson Farfan and Claudio Pizarro.
