From the match between Australia vs. United Arab Emirates will come the rival that the Peruvian national team will have to face in the intercontinental playoff to qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Both teams are looking to win to keep their dream of qualifying for the next edition of the World Cup alive.
Due to the new format imposed this year by FIFA, this key to decide the Asian representative is played in a single match, in neutral territory (Qatar). The regulations of the organization indicate that, in case of a tie between both teams during the 90 minutes, two extra periods of 15 minutes each will be played and a penalty shoot-out will be carried out if the tie persists.
“In the event of a one-match playoff, if at the end of regulation time the match has ended in a tie, an overtime consisting of two 15-minute halves will be played. If the match remains tied after overtime, a penalty shoot-out will be held to determine the winner,” reads the rulebook.
