Peru has secured a place in the play-offs for the World Cup. The Peruvians were 2-0 too strong for Paraguay in the last World Cup qualifier and therefore finished fifth in the group of South America.
Gianluca Lapadula put Peru ahead in the fifth minute and just before half-time Yoshimar Yotun made it 2-0. For example, Peru managed to keep Colombia and Chile under its control. Colombia won the away match against Venezuela 1-0, Chile lost 2-0 at home to Uruguay.
In mid-June, Peru will take on the winner of the match between the United Arab Emirates and Australia. Those two countries will meet on June 7.
Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Ecuador had already qualified for the World Cup in Qatar in the South American qualifying group.
