Just like in Saransk, our compatriots have invaded the main streets of Ekaterinburg. No one wants to miss Peru's second match against France, for the second round of Group C in Russia 2018.
Despite the distance between Ekaterinburg and Moscow, many fans have arrived in droves to the city. Some by plane, others have traveled more than 26 hours by train to support the Peruvian National Team.
5:03 pm in Ekaterinburg. The stadium doors should open soon. Peruvians are already lining up, accompanied by a gigantic black cloud. Hopefully it holds up until after the match. Today is the day, PERU. @tuitdepor #MundialxDepor #PER pic.twitter.com/3FuHTcvaub
