Paolo Guerrero scored a hat-trick as Peru outclassed Bolivia 3-1 in a lopsided contest to reach the Copa America semi-finals.

Striker Guerrero netted two goals in three minutes midway through the first half to put the Peruvians in a commanding position, the Guardian reported.

Subsequently, Guerrero added his third goal in the 74th minute before Marcelo Moreno scored a late consolation from the penalty spot for Bolivia shortly before the final whistle.

Peru will next square-off against Chile in Santiago on Monday in their first Copa America semi-finals.
