LIMA, Peru — Peru has won its first match in South American World Cup qualifying at the expense of coach Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay. The 1-0 home win gave the hosts a boost in the 10-team round-robin competition after a long losing streak. Miguel Araujo scored the only goal of the match with a header in the 88th minute to move Peru up from last place in the standings. Uruguay has 15 points after nine matches, four less than leaders Argentina and one behind second-place Colombia.
