Preview
The tournament winner was decided on Wednesday when Peru caused an upset winning 21-7 over hosts Colombia. With only tournament minnows Costa Rica to play today, Peru are assured of the title.

All that's left for the hosts is the prospect of defeating arch rival Venezuela. For Costa Rica their improved performance would indicate that Peru might not have it all on the final day.
