MERIDA, VENEZUELA — Peru and Uruguay moved on to the Copa America quarterfinals on Tuesday night.

Peru came from behind twice — the second time playing a man short — to tie Bolivia 2-2, and Uruguay played a 0-0 tie with host Venezuela, which was assured a berth.

The United States, which lost to Argentina 4-1 and Paraguay 3-1, could be eliminated before it plays its final first-round game Thursday against Colombia (0-2). The U.S. would lose any chance to advance if Brazil and Chile both pick up at least one point today.

Argentina, Mexico and Paraguay (all 2-0) have earned spots in the quarterfinals along with Venezuela (1-0-2), and Peru and Uruguay (both 1-1-1).

In the opener of Tuesday's doubleheader, Jaime Moreno's lob from the edge of the penalty area beat goalkeeper Leao Butron to put Bolivia ahead in the 24th, but Paolo Guerrero tied the score nine minutes later with a header off a free kick.

Jhasmany Campos gave Bolivia (0-1-2) a 2-1 lead in first-half injury time, and Claudio Pizzaro headed in Juan Carlos Marino's free kick with five minutes remaining.
