The Peruvian national team beats Ecuador 2-1 in the qualifying round
The Peruvian national team defeated Ecuador 2-1 in Quito for the first time in the Qualifiers. With this victory, the white and red team moved up to fourth place in the standings and dreams of Russia 2018.
Peru took home three points from the Atahualpa Olympic Stadium in Quito with goals from Edison Flores and Paolo Hurtado, who scored in the second half.
The victory in Quito surprised many. This is evidenced by the narrators of the various international media that broadcasted the match of the Peruvian national team.
If in Argentina it was narrated with emotion, the Chilean broadcast was completely the opposite. Every comment from the southern journalists was full of suffering, especially after 'La Roja's' defeat against Bolivia in La Paz.
