The first victory of the World Cup in Peru in four decades has kept a memory of their hordes of travelers, while Australia left the tournament a day where even a victory would not have been enough. .
Denmark's draw against France meant that Australia could not have done anything even with a win, and despite the control of possession, they lacked quality in the last third against a Peruvian team that has finally found his shooting boots.
Tim Cahill was again left on the bench for Australia, whose only change saw Tomi Juric for Andrew Nabbout in the lead. Ricardo Gareca made two changes for Peru, with Anderson Santamaria and Renato Tapia for Alberto Rodriguez and Pedro Aquino.
Both teams canceled for the first 18 minutes, but the first half-chance of the match produced the first goal. Paolo Guerrero was hooked to a long ball, and waited before passing a pass to Andre Carrillo, who thundered thunder found the corner of the net. This means that the Benfica man had the honor of scoring the first goal of the World Cup in Peru in 36 years.
Australia tried to answer but it was not until the 27th minute to force Pedro Gallese to his first stop. Tom Rogic snuck through the Peruvian defense and forced a corner with a low shot, although he probably would have to put the ball back to the best Juric.
Robbie Kruse slid the ball to Mathew Leckie, but some heroic defensemen kept the score at 1-0 and the resulting turn by Mile Jedinak.
Peru finished half-time but was unable to add to their lead before half-time. Denmark drawing against France in Moscow, Australia knew that they should score twice and hope for a goal from France to have a chance to pass.
In the first five minutes of the second half, Peru eliminated the match with their second goal. Miguel Trauco broke into the box and forced a pass to Guerrero, whose shot deflected Mark Milligan and passed the desperate plunge of Matt Ryan. It was a magical moment for Guerrero, Peru's top scorer and could retire after the World Cup.
Australia sent Cahill to Juric's place for his first appearance of the tournament while they were looking for a miraculous fight. The talented young Daniel Arzani was also created for Kruse while Bert van Marwijk put the caution to the test.
Aziz Behich turned a shot just over the post and Cahill saw an acrobatic shot blocked by Christian Ramos as Australia tried to get back into the match. Behich beat the offside trap well, but failed to find Cahill when a precise pass would surely have seen the deficit halved.
Edison Flores hit the post for Peru as Australia began looking forward in the draining conditions in Sochi. In the last 10 minutes, they have not been able to create opportunities and it is Peru who has risen to the 3rd rank of the group with a historic victory which means much more than the three points.
