Claudio Pizarro scored in the 72nd minute to lift Peru to a 1-0 victory Thursday over 10-man Venezuela in a Copa America Group C match. Bayern Munich's Pizarro scored on a left-footed shot that was tipped by Venezuela goalkeeper Alain Baroja but still went in off the underside of the crossbar. Venezuela, which upset Colombia in its opening match, was in command until defender Fernando Amorebieta was sent off on a straight red card in the 29th for stomping on the leg of Peru's Paolo Guerrero, AP reported. All four teams in Group C have three points after two matches: Brazil, Peru, Venezuela and Colombia.
