After 120 minutes without breaking the tie, Australia and Peru went to the penalty shoot-out and the Australians stamped access to the Qatar World Cup, winning by 5-4.
The great hero of the match was goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne, from Sydney, who entered in the last minutes of extra time, as coach Graham Arnold played for penalties. After Boyle missed the first Australian attempt, the former Vitória de Setúbal Advíncula also missed Peru’s third effort.
Well, no one else missed the eleven-meter mark, until the sixth opportunity. There, the 33-year-old goalkeeper, who performed a dance on the line before each penalty, stood out by stopping the Peruvian’s shot, by Alex Valera.
Australia, which goes to its fifth consecutive presence in World Cups, joins group D, along with France, Denmark and Tunisia.
