Peru vs. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390 2011
With the first half ending in a goalless draw and with both the sides not creating enough opportunities to find the back of the net, both the coaches decided to make changes in the start of the second half to change the cause of the game.
The Peru coach http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-c13609 Tena decided to introduce Pacheco in place of Aguilar.
As the second half kicked off, it took Peru only five minutes to create the first opportunity. It was Guerrero who had one of the best chances to find the back of the net. Despite being alone inside the penalty area and having a chance to head the ball freely,
he couldn’t find the target and it was simply a bad miss by the Peru star.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peru-c2981 were yet again all on the attack. Mexicans were simply on the back foot as they allowed Peru to make a move on goal. Peru were looking to be the better side throughout the game and they were the favourites to find the back of the net.
Guerrero created an outstanding opportunity for Vargas who was completing his run inside the penalty area. Guerrero evaded two tackles on the left wing and perfectly gave a cut back pass to Vargas who smacked his low drive on the base of the framework. Another
chance was wasted by Peru who were getting closer to finding the back of the net.
The midfield was purely dominated by Peru who were simply toying with the young Mexicans. Another chance fell for Peru yet again as Mexicans were getting frustrated as they were barely getting the touch of the ball.
It was during the 73rd minute when Vargas was taken down outside the box and he decided to take the free kick himself. The Peru star curled the free kick perfectly but he managed to hit the framework for the second time. It was simply unlucky
how Peru were not leading the game as the ball managed to hit the point where the cross bar meets the post.
It took Peru seven more minutes to find another opening in the Mexican http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Defence-c38904. The way the wingers were exploiting the Mexican defence was simply outstanding. There was simply no chance for the Mexicans to block the runs being made by Guerrero from the
left wing and the Peru star was troubling the Mexican defence time and time again.
Guerrero had his second opportunity during the 80th minute of the game. A cross came in for Guerrero who headed the ball towards the goal. Just when Peru though that they had scored, the Mexican goal stopper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-c25453 stepped up and made a mind blowing
save for his team. Peru were now getting frustrated as they were the only ones making an effort to score while the Mexicans barely threatened their goal.
After three minutes, Peru scored a goal that they deserved and which later helped them win the game. It was none other than the man of the match for Peru, Guerrero who scored the only goal of the game.
While Vargas got past two Mexican defenders, he made a cut through pass towards Guerrero who was present at the back post to tap the ball in. The Peru star scored his first goal of the game and the second goal of the tournament.
The match ended 1-0 in favour of Peru. The Mexicans tried to put up a solid performance but they failed to do so as Peru were simply outstanding in the final third. Peru were simply not good in their finishing but Guerrero finally tapped a ball in to help
his side score the winner.
Mexico now have to face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chile-c2871. Chile and Peru have 4 points in the group while Uruguay have two points with the two draws which they made against Chile and Peru.
