Brazil won their match 3–1, so Argentina could know that they had to beat Peru by four clear goals to go through to the final. Argentina managed it with what some saw as a suspicious degree of ease. Trailing 2–0 at half-time, Peru simply collapsed in the second half, and Argentina eventually won 6–0.
This final was the third for Peru in which they had been emerged as champions two times in their history. Their last championship (including worldwide tournaments) was won in 1975 .

Argentina had a goal difference of +2, but in its last group match, it defeated Peru 6–0, and thus qualified for the final in a match accused of ultimately-unproven match fixing. Brazil subsequently beat Italy in the third place play-off, and were the only team to remain unbeaten in the tournament.
Peru's highest margin of victory at a Copa América is four goals, which they have managed a number of times: They won 4–0 against Ecuador in 1941 and 1949, and against Colombia in 1949, and won 5–1 against Colombia in 1947, and against Venezuela in 1991. Peru's biggest defeat was a 0–7 loss against Brazil in the 1997 semi-finals.
