Peru vs. Chile result in 2026 qualifiers is just the tip of the iceberg in Juan Reynoso's tenure as the national team manager because there is a much deeper statistic that explains the lack of offensive volume in these three matches. Here we tell you what it is and the new challenge they will have to face against Argentina on Tuesday.
Every defeat of the national team always ends up being painful for everyone, but then you have to move on and start correcting aspects to avoid making the same mistakes. Juan Maximo Reynoso must aim for that same thing for the remaining matches in these qualifiers. The good news? This race has just begun and there is plenty of time for evolution.
More than the results, with two defeats and one draw, there is a statistic that indicates that Peru has not had any shots on goal against the opponent and this is extremely worrying as it explains the lack of goals in these 2026 qualifiers. In the three games, the national team struggles to reach the opponent's area and be effective.
In fact, Peru is one of the teams that has not scored a single goal in three matches. Teams like Bolivia and Venezuela - which on paper are of lower level than Peru - have scored at least one goal and this increases the concern even more.
Given this context, Peru has the mission of causing damage to Argentina this Tuesday at the National Stadium in Lima. The challenge is tough as usual in the qualifiers, but it's time to rise up and strive for a World Cup qualification.
What forwards does Juan Reynoso have for this double match?
Currently, Juan Reynoso has 8 forwards to be taken into account in this double matchday, here are their names: Paolo Guerrero, Andy Polo, André Carrillo, Franco Zanelatto, Santiago Ormeño, Fabrizio Roca, Bryan Reyna, and Joao Grimaldo.
