The triumph of Peru was on everyone's lips, and in Chile, despite the annoyance of the tough defeat they suffered in the last match, they did not ignore the achievement of the Peruvian team, which puts them one step away from the World Cup. For this reason, the Chilean journalist Francisco Sagredo confessed that he will support Peru when they face their playoff match.
"Obviously, we want... at least I want South American teams to do well," said the panelist on the show 'Equipo F'. He also indicated that it will not be easy if Peru's rival is Australia: "Peru could suffer if they face them."
After his comment, the colleagues next to him analyzed Australia as a possible rival for Ricardo Gareca's team and recalled the match they had against Uruguay in the same scenario, which eliminated them from the World Cup.
Finally, it is important to note that the Peruvian National Team will play the playoff for the 2022 Qatar World Cup against the winner of the match between Australia or the United Arab Emirates, as one of them will be the representative of Asia in the mentioned stage.
When and where will the playoff be played?
The playoff match between Peru and Australia or the United Arab Emirates will be played between June 13 and 14, 2022, on a neutral field in Qatar.
