This is wild. This is a big challenge for Arnold to bring Redmayne. Demonstrated great confidence in a man known at the club level as Pink Wiggle with his hot pink uniform and jumping technique. But Gallese is a veteran. He has great gaming experience. He blocked Luis Suarez’s penalty and could save Australia’s shot. Who will take these pens? There is a lot of discussion among the judges because Peru has complained about something. What will be the end of the pens? Mooy, who has been promoted to captain, also has a say.
Penalties! Australia 0: 0 Peru
120 + 3 minutes Irvine is now cramping and Boyle ran to help stretch. Goodwin takes a free kick and Wright is in the back post, but it’s an easy choice for Gallese, who is also on penalties after extra time.
120 + 2 minutes This is the work of goalkeeping coach John Crowley, who developed both Ryan and Redmayne at club level in Australia, and who did wonders for Redmayne and Sydney FC, especially when they won a spectacular final penalty shootout against Sydney Perth Glory in 2019. Although Flores stole the ball from Irvine, he violated the rules in the process and time passes quickly because he missed a free kick.
120 minutes Behich leaves and Craig Goodwin prepares to enter. But what is this! Andrew Redmayne is also waiting outside and will replace No. 1 and Captain Met Ryan!
118 minutes Cueva, as it were, missed a penalty at the last World Cup, so his departure is not a bad thing for Peru.
Andre writes: “It seems we are going to the penalties, I hope I did not hurt us.” “But we haven’t been clinical enough to make the most of the opportunities we’ve been given.”
He emails again: “Two chances are on their way, now I have to shut up.”
115 minutess Change for Peru, Alex Valera enters the fight. Cueva is a player who will appear on the stretcher, but the whole process takes a lot of time.
113 min Socceroos climbs as Peru collapses in the crossing again, but Cueva’s pass passes into Ryan’s hands. Cueva now stretches with cramps.
112 minutes Karachich throws the ball into Boylin’s path for a long time, and when Peru have the ball again, they try to do the same, only to call Cueva offside. Both coaches must be swimmers. Which players are tired? Which should be continued regardless of penalties? Do they bring cold players? This is always a difficult task.
109 min Chance for Peru! Cueva was crushed by Flores, but turned his shot aside. And a better chance will come! Peru sends the ball to the box. Flores climbs up and overtakes Behichi, and the header hits the post. This includes the shades of Australia’s play-off game against Syria in the 2018 qualifiers against Russia. Long live Australia!
106 minutes There are some tired legs, none of them except Mooy’s legs, which have played longer than they did all year. But penalties are not far away. What will Arnold do?
Extra time break! Australia 0: 0 Peru
105 minutes Flores, meanwhile, entered the book because Boyle raised his arm. There isn’t much communication there, but hey.
104 minutes Lapadula and Rouls collide, but quickly reconcile. No side is moving forward here, the mindset is constantly changing hands. Irvine enters the game and Mabil now engages in some tricks, avoiding two defenders before being hit by Aquino. Mabil deafens him. There is no time for play like existence.
101 minutes Chance! Flores is forced to save Ryan, probably the first real save he has to make the whole match. And maybe it ignites something in the Socceroos as Karacic moves forward with energy.
98 minutes Peru can also be on the training ground for 30 seconds, as they pass each other with a short, frequent touch. The Socceroos are waiting for them to make a meaningful move. Advincula stands out and Karacic makes an important touch. Meanwhile, Tapia fell, but rose to her feet.
96 minutes Hrustic finds an opening and walks towards the pitch. Australia have numbers in the box, but they are waiting and Peru is competing in the qualifying round.
95 minutes Peru is good at hunting. The long ball is delivered straight to the Australian box. The defense is ready, but it is coming again. This time Trauco Boyle enters. The Australian ball is now but there is a way to get through the red shirts.
Extra time!
92 minutess Here we go. Penalties are written on each side of it, but let’s see if a team can get out of a dilemma before? So far, it remains unresolved. Anything can happen. Atkinson is replaced by Fran Karacic. Cueva opens the midfield, but Karacic intervenes.
End of adjustment time! Australia 0: 0 Peru
90 + 3 minutes Peru has the ball in the last 60 seconds. They finally hit the ball a little hastily before passing from the top of the midfield. After reprocessing, Flores tries to hit the outside of the box in vain. We are going in extra time!
90 + 2 minutes There is a three-minute break, which is not much, considering that Cueva received medical treatment for two minutes. Nevertheless, we continue. Socceroos jumps into the box and this pushes Irvine by Zambrano? Apparently not. The referee consults with VAR and continues the game.
90 minutes Chance! Another chance begs, because Hrustic makes a shot, but doesn’t hit clean enough to beat Gallese. This disappoints Australia. They create chances, but they are not clinical enough.
87 min While bringing Jamie McLaren to Arnold Leckie, Gareca is very unhappy, talking to the staff. Fresh legs and potential arm spark. He knows how to take the right positions, McLaren knows.
85 minutes As the competition progressed overtime, the unity shown by the Socceroos disappeared a bit. As I wrote, Mabil enthusiastically hit the ball from the left to the nearest post. It was close. Now Behic reaches the goal. Gonzalez takes off his boot, but the ball escapes him. He also flies a little off the pole and escapes the net.
82 min Trauko’s ball floats on Behich’s top, but Australia is ready for it. Now Trauco Boyle has been rude and Australia have a penalty kick. Will this be the opening? Since Peña went to Pedro Aquino, we will not learn this until the second substitution of Peru. Hrustic, a hero against the UAE, takes his set. Not this time.
78 minutes Mooy squeezes the long pass from the right, but escapes Boyle and leaves the game. Arnold made his first change by bringing Aver Mabili to Duke.
76 minutes All this is a lot for Australia, which has laid a solid foundation to win this match, but they will have to make a meaningful opening someday. One did not take place at this stage, and the longer the match lasts, the more dangerous Peru will be. Peruvian supporters applaud as the flag is raised against Lechki with drums and horns.
73 minutes Australia are inviting Peru to the third defense, which we know from recent history that these are just a few steps to the transfer. Tapia seems to have fixed something while breaking Hrustic, but will see another day. Peru reaches the goal again and Advincula is everywhere. in an instant – until he ran into a corner and lost his touch.
69 minutes Atkinson keeps the ball on the defense and prefers to walk long and diagonally. Peru is moving forward because they are now more regular, and Cueva’s shiny toes drop the ball to the ground before hitting the side net. Will Arnold make his change soon?
66 minutes The Socceroos are asking for a penalty, citing Boyle interrupting the pass with the defender’s arm. The judge does not think so and there is nothing from VAR. Meanwhile, the first replacement is Carrillo, who replaces Edison Flores.
63 minutes 30 minutes left to score. Peru is still a bit fragmented, which means one of two things: they unite and score, or Australia capitalizes and does it themselves. That sounds pretty simple. Things get tense as Lekki pushes Advinkula and responds in the last mini-argument.
60 minutes Mooy is in the corner flag. Australia loves a certain piece. Although it’s not – Gallese gets a decisive touch. Peru crosses the back line before attacking from the left, then returns to the Gallery. A few balls are sent directly back into Australian territory, but Advincula continues to come to the right as he hides.
57 minutes The instructions come from Arnold when the Peruvian ball enters the game and passes diagonally to the left. Irvine takes a speculative shot, but in doing so, he performs the midfielder’s boot on Tapia. Apply for Peruvian yellow. Does not come. However, they return to dangerous areas, as Peña passes and Gonzalez is alone with Ryan, who hits the goalkeeper while collecting on time.
53 minutes Arnold gets up this time. I can’t imagine how nervous he is. If Australia loses, it will end its term and the team will miss the World Cup for the first time since 2002. Although let’s not go there yet, because Mooy has now allowed a pile driver, not a mile wide, to tear off a distant pole.
51 minutes Mooy now looks at Peru’s box. He really stops before he starts work, but he has the right idea. There is another fast turn and a corner blocked by Irvine in Peru. Peru is coming again, and this time Rowles is the man on the road. Peña points to his teammates.
