Peru 0 Denmark 1

The return of Peru and that iconic strip, voted the best World Cup one ever but that is surely Brazil 1970? At least they haven't messed about with a classic.

Anyway, they were on top in the lively early stages without going to close to an end product allowing Denmark to work their way back in although they weren’t exactly threatening either.

Another VAR decision gave Peru a penalty (again the right decision) but Cueva ballooned it over. “Aladdin”, as he is known, probably wished he could disappear.

The pattern continued in the second period until the Danes broke and Poulson put them ahead. Peru launched a mini-bombardment which the Danish backline (mmm, Danish backline) managed to repel as the match suddenly became much more exciting.

The Europeans ahead in this group now but not over yet.
