Australia (0-1-1, 1 point) against Peru (0-0-2, 0 points)
Group C, Fisht Stadium, Sochi
Half time: Peru 1, Australia 0
The Socceroos have done pretty much anything but mark, and as a result, they are 45 minutes away from the elimination (remember, Australia needs a win to have a hope of # 1). 39; advancement). Australia has a 1-2-9 record on World Cup history by dropping first base, its only win against Japan in 2006.
It's not that that counts with the current score in Sochi, but France and Denmark fought for a draw in Moscow.
Here's how it is when your national team scores a goal for the World Cup for the first time in 36 years.
Yellow for Peru
Yoshimar Yotun drops Leckie with useless force, and he is in the book at the 45th minute.
Almost an equalizer
Tom Rogic uses a clever footwork in the 27th minute to find space at the top of the box, but he can not get much on the shot and Pedro Gallese is able to keep him out of the net.
About six minutes later, the Socceroos do it almost again, but Jedinak's shot at Leckie right in front of goal is swept away.
Goal!
Peru scores its first World Cup goal in 36 years in the 18th minute, and it's a good match. Paolo Guerrero recovers the ball in the box and sends a long pass to the field, behind the Australian defense line, to Andre Carrillo, who crushes a half-volley pass Matthew Matthew. It's 1-0 in Peru, and Australians have big problems.
Socceroos do their push
But-needy Australia is throwing a lot in the late Peru, with nothing to show yet. Peru seems happy to erase everything on the ground and not to mount much of the attack.
Heat and humidity
It's hot in Sochi today, with temperatures in the mid-80s and relatively high humidity. We will see how this affects everyone.
Yellow for Jedinak
Mile Jedinak looks up at Christian Cueva's face, shooting a yellow card. The Socceroos do not want to see him leave.
A literal Socceroo

Theory of chaos
Opening thoughts
The Aussies have a lot at stake (see below) while the Peruvians, who entered their first World Cup in 36 years with high hopes, are just trying to put the ball in the net after two defeats goalless. The Socceroos have also struggled to score, at least since the beginning of the game: their two goals in this World Cup are from shots on goal Mile Jedinak. In fact, their last three World Cup goals, dating back to 2014, were marked by a penalty shot, and no World Cup team scored four consecutive goals that way.

Team Profiles
Australia
- Previous results: Lost in France, 2-1. Denmark bound, 1-1.
- What is at stake: At the very least, Australia must beat Peru and lose Denmark (four points) to France to qualify for the knockout stages. An Australian victory of at least two goals combined with a defeat of Denmark – from any margin – would allow the Socceroos to qualify. But if the Aussies win by a single goal, their chances will depend on Denmark's margin of defeat and goals scored against France. For example, a 1-0 win in Australia combined with a 1-0 defeat in Denmark would allow the Socceroos to pass through the goal-breaking scoreline. But a 1-0 win against Australia combined with a 3-2 defeat against Denmark would be beneficial for the Danes, for the same reason.
- Notable: Australia is looking for its second round in the round of 16, a feat accomplished in 2006.
- FIFA World Ranking: 36. ELO World Ranking: 30.
Peru
- Previous results: Lost in Denmark, 1-0. Lost in France, 1-0.
- What is at stake: Nothing. Peru was eliminated from the knockout competition.
- Notable: At this point, Peru is simply hoping for its first World Cup victory since 1978.
- FIFA World Rankings: 11. ELO World Rankings: 18.
Player to watch
Daniel Arzani, Australia
The youngest player in the World Cup – he's only 19 – has twice been a substitute and has been very successful: According to Goal.com, he has created the most chances per minute of all Tournament players who played at least 10 minutes. With the round of 16 and Nabbout injured in the shoulder, Socceroos coach Bert van Marwijk could release him earlier against Peru.
