Gonzalo Núñez remembers the penalty shootout against Australia
After the Peruvian striker's fantastic goal, sports journalist Gonzalo Núñez recalled the penalty shootout between Peru and Australia in the qualifying playoffs for the 2022 World Cup, where the Peruvian team lost 5-4 after misses from Luis Advíncula and Alex Valera.
"Lapadula takes the penalty just like he did against Australia, hitting it straight and not crossed. That's how penalties should be taken, with the instep. If everyone had kicked like that, we would have played the World Cup," commented 'Castor'.
