Midfielder Andre Carrillo gave them the lead three minutes into the second half, stabbing a shot into the bottom corner of the Paraguayan net after striker Paolo Guerrero had nodded down a Christian Cueva corner.
Guerrero sealed a deserved victory with his fourth goal of the tournament in the 89th minute.
