Standing in their way was a talented Peruvian side that wanted to beat the Socceroos and book themselves a spot in the 2022 World Cup. <\/p>\n<p>The game was evenly contested as both sides had openings but did not capitalize and the game was forced into extra time. Extra time was difficult for both sides as the players gave their all in the sweltering heat of the Middle East. <strong>The Aussies registered a total of 11 shots with only 2 of them on target while Peru had a total of 10 shots with only 1 of them on target.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XsZOrs95Ya8?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Peru was slightly ahead in terms of ball possession with 54 percent while the Aussies were not far behind with 46 percent.
