Peru was left out of the World Cup in Qatar 2022 after falling on penalties against Australia in an agonizing match which ended in a goalless draw in regulation time.
Now Australia will be part of Group D of the World Cup, in which they will face the teams of France, Denmark and Tunisia.
The game started quite emotionally for the South Americans. The anthem of Peru resounded among the 50 thousand souls who attended the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium of the city of Doha, Qatar.
Also from that, the Peruvian team arrived with a boost of hope, after beating New Zealand by the slightest difference in their last friendly match. Not to mention that he went out on the field with all his starting players.
It would undoubtedly be an epic match for the red and whites. In fact, the president of Peru declared a non-working day so that everyone could enjoy the defining match.
However, as the first half progressed, the South American team looked a little fearful in the attack. This situation was taken advantage of by Australia, who had a greater opportunity in the offensive.
Those led by coach Ricardo Gareca approached the rival area very little, and did not try their luck from the inside.
