Brazil crashed out of the Copa America as underdogs Honduras claimed a semi-final place against Colombia.

The holders missed a host of chances and were made to pay when Saul Martinez's header rebounded off the post and was turned into his own net by Juninho Beletti in the 58th minute.

Brazil stormed forward looking for an equaliser but Martinez sealed the win for Honduras in the final minute with a breakaway goal.

Earlier, veteran striker Victor Aristizabal grabbed two goals as hosts Colombia beat Peru 3-0 to book their last-four place.

After a goalless first-half Aristizabal struck in the 49th minute.

Giovanni Hernandez added Colombia's second on 65 minutes before Aristizabal rounded off the scoring four minutes later.
