The teams had failed to score in regulation and extra time at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium. Goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne, sent on as a substitute in the dying seconds of extra time, proved to be the star for Australia by saving the last penalty from Alex Valera. Australia’s coach Graham Arnold says that, ‘nobody in Australia gave us a chance’, while Peru’s Ricardo Gareca was coy on his future as coach after missing out on World Cup spot

You should doubt less when Australia played anti-football.
This has to be extremely painful to hear from Gareca…
Australian Coach : Humble personality ,cool emotions, will work harder for a better team.
Peruvian Coach : ARROGANT , Still thinking his team was better in the field.
Is Peru the salt capital of the world? Certainly fkn seems like it.
Australia!! The bane of South American Football! Uruguay, Honduras and now Peru! … keep doubting us at your continued World Cup Qualifying Peril!! 😎💪 ….
Will you make fun of us a forth time? … let's wait and see if 2026 is any different…
Hey, wait a minute, what's that yellow thing in the aussie goalkeeper's hand?
Socceroos made all of us proud
Congratulations 🎊👏👏👏
Graham Arnold is fantastic, he backs himself and is not afraid to take risks.
I can understand Arnold's seige mentality. There are a lot of haters here in Australia, sadly.
I got up and watched every qualifying game often at 3 or 4am, we always believed in our team, against Peru was one of the first times we showed our full potential.
Congrats to Australia for their mental power and never giving up.
From a Peruvian.
At least they are still number 2 at producing coca cola
Peru too cocky! Started with their coach and his wavy hair.
I find it extremely rich that people rag on Australia for just "making up the numbers" at the world cup… The trophy has been won by eight national teams only… Brazil have won five times, and they are the only team to have played in every tournament. The other World Cup winners are Germany and Italy, with four titles each; Argentina, France, and inaugural winner Uruguay, with two titles each; and England and Spain, with one title each…
Everyone is making up the numbers as there is only one winner. Atleast we are there. Rest of the non qualified are just salty… 😎🤪✌
Well done Australia. Never say die.
G'day it's not that anybody in australia didn't think you had a chance. Its just that nobody in australia could give a flying @#$%& about soccer.
get a haircut coach, hahaha….going to have plenty of time on your hands
Gareca una pregunta 🙋🏼♂️? Perú como dices pasaban los minutos de un partido controlado encontrando el camino a donde ? A Lima? hahaha
Still one of worst coaches.
Peru coach is delusional, must have been watching a completely different game.
