A quick summary of action around CONMEBOL on FRI 12 OCT 2012.

• Bolivia 01-01 Peru: The Incas took the lead in the first half through Juan Carlos MARIÑO, and Bolivia’s Alejandro CHUMACERO levelled the scores in the second. Though both sides are well adrift of the playoff place, Peru are at least moving in the right direction as they are now on a three match unbeaten run.
• Colombia 02-00 Paraguay: Radamel FALCAO’s brace in the second half led the Cafeteros to a win over Paraguay, who have now lost five in a row.
• Ecuador 03-01 Chile: Felipe CAICEDO’s two goals, including one from the penalty spot, led the way for Ecuador against nine man Chile. They keep pace with Colombia for second place.
• Argentina 03-00 Uruguay: But at the midway point of the group phase, it is the Albiceleste on top, thanks largely to Lionel MESSI. His two goals led Argentina to victory in the Río Plata derby and leave Uruguay tied for fourth.
