It’s been 36 years of waiting for Peruvians to see La Blanquirroja at a World Cup. Their first two matches at the tournament were nothing short of heartbreak. Their first match was a dominating performance against Denmark that will forever be remembered for Christian Cueva’s horrendous penalty miss. Peru lost 1-0. Their next match against powerhouse France was more of the same, as no Peru goal developed and the country's World Cup dreams ended.
Peru fans have probably been the best fans in Russia. They traveled tremendously and the already eliminated side finally gave them something to cheer about when André Carrillo hammered home a Paolo Guerrero cross on the volley.
They've done it! 36 years of waiting and they finally got their #WorldCup goal. It's a beaut too!#ArribaPeru #PER #AUS pic.twitter.com/3D3h9QmmR1
