Chile defeated Peru 1-0 to top the group. Chile will face the second place team in Group B, which will be determined on Wednesday when Brazil faces Ecuador and Paraguay plays Venezuela.
Chile went ahead in injury time when a curling corner taken by Jorge Valdivia missed several players in the area before rebounding off the knee of Peru substitute Andre Carrillo and into an open goal.
Both teams were reduced to 10 men from the 62nd when Chile's Jean Beausejour and Peru's Giancarlo Carmona were ejected for an altercation.
Defeat leaves Peru on four points ahead of Uruguay's clash with Mexico later. If Uruguay win, Chile will take second spot in the group and Peru will finish third, although they will still go through to the last eight as one of the two best third.
