JEFFERSON Lerma played the full 90 minutes as Colombia made it three wins from three at the Copa America.

Already sure of their place in the quarter-finals following victories over Argentina and Qatar, boss Carlos Queiroz rang the changes for their clash with Paraguay.

And Colombia kept up their perfect record with a 1-0 win to round off the group campaign with nine points.

Cherries midfielder Lerma, who provided an assist in the impressive win against Argentina, was handed his first start of the competition in Salvador.

The only goal of the game arrived on 31 minutes when Flamengo midfielder Gustavo Cuellar fired in at the near post, shortly after Radamel Falcao had acrobatically volleyed off target.

Colombia thought they had added a second goal only for it to be ruled out by VAR with Luis Diaz deemed to have controlled James Rodriguez's pass with his arm.

Lerma's appearance took his senior international caps tally to 13.

Seeking Copa America glory for the first time since 2001, Colombia will face either Chile, Japan or Uruguay in the quarter-finals on Saturday.

Argentina progressed behind Colombia in second place in Group C.
