Pacific Clasico tonight
The latest installment of one of South American football's fiercest rivalries plays out at the Copa America on Monday when hosts Chile face Peru with a place in the final at stake.
Matches between the two neighbors are known as the "Clasico del Pacifico" and are played against a backdrop of historical enmity that dates back more than a century.
On the football field the rivalry began in 1935, but the animosity pre-dates that first encounter by several decades.
Most famously, differences of opinion remain to this day over which country is responsible for the invention of the bicycle kick.
Chileans say they invented it in a 1914 match, christening the overhead volley as "La Chilena".
Peruvians see it differently, arguing that in fact it was first tried in the port city of Callao in the late 1800s, being given the name, "La Chalaca".
Chile will start as clear favorites for Monday's semi-final as they aim to take another step towards ending their 99-year wait for Copa America glory.
However the hosts are nervously awaiting the outcome of a disciplinary case opened against key defender Gonzalo Jara on Saturday over his off-the-ball assault on Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani in the quarter-finals.
Any suspension of Jara, who has formed an effective partnership with Inter Milan's Gary Medel, will give Chile coach Jorge Sampaoli a major headache.
