Peru are the first team to dominate a friendly against New Zealand and score the first goal. This was proven after Yoshimir Yoden’s shot threatened the match team’s goal.

In 24 minutes, Christian Cueva’s corner kick passed. However, the Sporting Crystal midfielder, who was outside the area, saved the ball from his chest and hit a Colin crossbar which was defended by Oliver Sail.

Later, Carlos Zambrano crossed over using a rebound, but Andre Carrillo’s header went wide. Fans of ‘Blanquirroja’ at the RCDE Stadium were saddened to be touched by the head as they were close to screaming 1-0, especially due to the shot scored by the famous ‘Yoshi’.
