Peru
Peru will face Scotland on Tuesday, May 29 at the National Stadium, in a farewell match before heading to the 2018 World Cup.
The match will be very special for both teams, as they played exactly forty years ago. And also in a World Cup: Argentina 78.

At that time, Scotland was the great favorite to win. However, Peru prevailed 3-1 with a goal by Teófilo Cubillas that was unforgettable.
"When we saw the draw and imagined Peru and Iran, we were naive. We didn't know anything about them. They weren't great teams. And we went there with high expectations," said Alan Rough, former Scotland goalkeeper who suffered the Peruvian goals, in an interview with the portal "The Herald Scotland".

"The preparation for everything was a bit crazy. We didn't know anything about Teófilo Cubillas and the rest of them. They weren't familiar names. None of them had reached the top-level football," he added.
The former number 1 of the European team also acknowledged that the debut in a World Cup must be totally perfect in order to achieve an incentive during the tournament.
"If you don't win your first game, you are under pressure," Alan Rough said, who still keeps a white and red shirt, which was exchanged in the match that took place at the Olympic Stadium in Córdoba.
