with high pressure
Thinking about the final that was played, the Australian team came out to put pressure on Peru from the start with the power and strength of their players.

Australia resorted to midrange shots starting with midfielder Ajdin Hrustic and striker Mathew Leckie to bring danger to the goal defended by Pedro Gallese.

At 6 minutes, Duke took a shot that went just wide.

After the initial 10, with good association football and better standing on the field, Peru began to wake up in their collective game to stop the Australians and try to reach the opposite goal.

With their offensive trident made up of Gianluca La[CENSORED], Christian Cueva and André Carrillo, those led by Ricardo 'el Tigre' Gareca generated counterattacks to open the scoring.

After 30, the Australian team with good ball control in midfield generated better offensive plays, but their players failed to finish.

With more offensive power, Australia tried to take advantage of the inaccuracy of the Peruvians.

Australia won in the first 45 aerial duels and approached Gallese's goal more dangerously, while Peru barely bothered Mathew Ryan.

without any damage
In the complement, Gareca came out determined to look for the victory, and although he jumped with the same starters, the team stopped further ahead and was more productive in front of Ryan's goal.

 

With poisonous crosses down the right flank, Carrillo looked for Italian-Peruvian Gianluca Lapadula in the air, after going unnoticed in the initial stage.

At 64, Gareca brought in midfielder Edison Flores to give his team more offensive power, which was suffering without finding variants in attack.

At 68, Cueva took out a left shot that hit the side of Mathew Ryan's goal.

With set pieces and long-range shots, Australia also had their share in Gallese's goal.

In the last minutes of the match, Peru finished better than Australia, managing better the pressure and possession of the ball.

In extra time, Peru came out to put pressure on an Australia team that fell back to a defender in their goal.

With claw the Peruvians took several shots to the rival goal. At 107, Flores finished off with a header and the ball hit the left post of the Australian goal, being the clearest scoring chance for the Inca squad in the entire game.

At 120, DT Graham Arnold got into the field goalkeeper Mathew Redmayne to ensure victory on penalties. Luis Advíncula crashed his execution into the vertical right and in the sixth and last charge he dressed as a hero by stopping Alex Valera's charge. (D)
