Paraguay will meet Uruguay in Sunday's Copa America final in Argentina after a dramatic penalty shoot-out win over Venezuela.
The 5-3 loss denied Venezuela the chance to reach the final of the Latin American tournament for the first time.
The match itself was largely disappointing and finished goal-less, a far cry from the 3-3 thriller played out in the group stages by the same two sides -- Venezuela had come back from 3-1 down.
This is how things go with football and I cannot reproach my players.
--Cesar Farias, Venezuela coach
