The defeat was difficult to assimilate for the fans of the Peruvian National Team and the soccer players who were part of Peru vs. Australia. For this reason, hours after falling into the playoffs for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Carlos Zambrano decided to speak out through his social networks.
The red and white defender published a message in which he showed his pain at not getting the victory, but he was also grateful to the fans.
“It costs a lot but it’s time to stop and continue. Thanks to the best fans in the world and thanks for all your messages of encouragement”. Zambrano said. It should be noted that the publication was accompanied by an image of the xeneize defender embraced by Pedro Gallese.
Peru fell to Australia
The Peruvian National Team was left out of Qatar 2022 after losing (5-4) in a penalty shootout against Australia, after a goalless draw until extra time, in the intercontinental playoff match between Conmebol and the Asian Confederation played in Al Rayyan.
On penalties, Australia was more effective in securing their sixth-place finish by scoring five of the six charges they made.
“The feelings in these moments of pain and frustration overwhelm us all. It is a big disappointment”said the coach of Peru, the Argentine Ricardo Gareca, after the game.
With the victory, the ‘Socceroos’ will join Group D, which includes France, defending champions; Denmark and Tunisia.
