Peru at the CONCACAF Gold Cup
This is a record of Peru's results at the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Peru was invited for the 2000 edition of the North American tournament, its first and only appearance to date. Despite having been invited only once, Peru is ranked 11 in the historic ranking of the CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament. It is unknown if Peru will again be invited to the tournament since the Peruvian Federation is associated with CONMEBOL, the South American football confederation.
History
Peru was invited to join the CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament along with Colombia and South Korea.[1] Positioned in Group B of the tournament, Peru started out bad with a 1–1 tie with Haiti, and a 1-0 loss to the United States.[1] Surprisingly, this was enough for Peru to advance and face Honduras, which had ended first in their group.[1] Peru won this quarterfinals match with an unexpected 5–3 result.[2] In the semifinals, Peruvian defenders made a series of mistakes, including an own goal, and the only goal of Peru against Colombia came thanks to Roberto Palacios; Colombia defeated Peru 2–1.[3] Peru earned third place in the North American competition.[4]
