Peru seals play-off spot against either Socceroos or UAE
Peru advanced to the 2022 FIFA World Cup intercontinental play-off, against either UAE or Australia, with a 2-0 win over Paraguay that sealed fifth-place in CONMEBOL qualifying.
Goals from Gianluca Lapadula and Yoshimar Yotun were enough to lock in fifth for Peru, which only needed a win to stave off a potentially dramatic final day challenge from Colombia or Chile.
The win sets up the tantalising prospect of a clash against 2018 FIFA World Cup group stage rivals the Socceroos whose disappointing campaign ended with a 1-0 loss to Saudi Arabia.
First, Graham Arnold's men must overcome UAE in a one-off play-off in May.
