Uruguay booked their place in the final with a 2-0 win over Peru last night. Liverpool's Luis Suarez scored both goals to earn the praise of his manager.

"He (Suarez) is an elite player in world football," said Uruguay boss Oscar Tabarez.

"We talked about having more presence up top. That is how we got the first goal. (Diego) Forlan and Suarez appeared. After that, Peru kept attacking, but we had it under control."

"This rival was as difficult as we thought they would be. We had an experience with them in the first game."

"Our worry was (Paolo) Guerrero and (Juan Manual) Vargas. They are determined, but I think we controlled the game."
