Australia vs Peru

Minute-by-minute report: The Socceroos must beat Peru in Doha to qualify for the World Cup.

The location of this match is interesting because Australia have played a lot of their qualifying games in Qatar and are very used to the conditions. “We have experienced very tough situations, we cope with them, we know that’s the way forward is a tough one but this is what we want to do. Peru are in transition now, all the way down to Australia’s goal third and Lapadula beats Rowles and whips in a cross which comes to nothing in the end. We are 15 minutes in and the Socceroos have had a few look-ins on goal but nothing that registers. The direction is good but Zambrano has a head on it to clear the danger. 5 mins Duke is outside the box with his eyes in the air and on a long ball over the top which is hurtling towards him. 19 mins Mooy sashays through the midfield and releases Boyle at the top of the area but his shot ricochets straight off a defender. If Australia lose this is the end of his tenure, and the team will have missed out on the World Cup for the first time since 2002. But they are back in dangerous areas again as Peña crosses and Gonzales is one on one with Ryan, clattering into the goalkeeper as he gathers in the nick of time. Peru are quick on the uptake and straight into transition, working it back to Australia’s penalty area in the blink of an eye. 69 mins Atkinson has the ball at feet in defence and opts to go long and diagonal. A speculative shot is dealt with by Irvine, but in doing so the midfielder’s boot on Tapia. Peru appeal for a yellow.
