The Monaco striker was seen chatting to opposition players with a few minutes left in Colombia's clash against Peru.
The game was tied at the time, while Chile were losing to Brazil, which meant that Colombia would qualify for the 2018 World Cup as the fourth-placed team in the South American qualification table, while Peru booked the playoff spot and Copa America champions Chile missed out.
With Falcao having since been accused of match-fixing, Peru midfielder Renato Tapia has now revealed what the former United striker told him on the pitch.
"We were focused on the game and then in the final five minutes the Colombians approached us," he told Panamericana Television, as quoted by the Daily Mirror.
"They knew the situations from the other grounds. The game was managed as it had to be managed.
"I spoke with Falcao and he said to me that we were both in, so there was happiness about that."
