The victory over Chile has restored confidence to Peruvian fans and the national team. They know that reaching the 2022 World Cup is still extremely difficult, but by playing like they did last Thursday, they will be closer to the goal. The next stop is La Paz against Bolivia, and thinking about the three points is not only ambitious but also a real necessity.
In Bolivia, there have been several teams that have earned points in the current qualifying process, including direct rivals for the coveted fifth spot in the next World Cup.
Argentina, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Colombia are the teams that have already played at the Hernando Siles stadium, located above 3600 meters above sea level. Only Venezuela lost. Lionel Messi's team was the first to go and win, with a 2-1 comeback victory. Ecuador was the second team and won with authority by 3-2. The last one was Colombia, which drew 1-1. With these precedents, earning points this Sunday is more than necessary.
