Hernán Rengifo had headed an equaliser for Peru in the 90th minute to cancel out debutant Gonzalo Higuaín's opener early in the second half.
But just as Argentina's World Cup dreams looked to be slipping away, Palermo tapped home at the far post in driving rain to send his coach diving across the sodden turf in celebration.
