Peru and Germany faced each other on Saturday, March 25 in an international friendly. The 'Blanquirroja' tried to compete from the initial whistle, but the Germans showed their wide superiority with two accurate goals from Niclas Füllkrug in the first half at 12' and 33'. Although Juan Reynoso tried to correct his initial 5-4-1, it was not enough to counteract the incursions of Hansi Flick's pupils. In addition to Füllkrug, Joshua Kimmich and Kai Havertz were the standout players in the match in Mainz, despite the penalty missed by the Chelsea player. Pedro Gallese, as has happened in recent times, was the best that the 'Bicolor' showed.
