Australia are knocked out of 2018 World Cup following the 2-0 loss to already-eliminated Peru in the Group C.<\/p>\n
The Socceroos needed to win to have any chance of reaching the last 16, but their\u00a0disappointing defeat left\u00a0Denmark and France as the qualifiers of the group.<\/p>\n
Peru opened the scoring by the left-footed volley of Andre Carrill from the edge of the box in the 18th minute. It was Peru\u2019s first World Cup finals goal for 36 years.<\/p>\n
Desperately Australia tried to respond to earn the equalization, but their hope was faded out\u00a0when Peru captain Paolo Guerrero scored the second five minutes into the second half.<\/p>\n
Coach\u00a0Bert van Marwijk finally had to throw\u00a0out his trump cards Tim Cahill and Daniel Arzani from the bench,\u00a0but none of his strikers had been able to find the net.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, France and Denmark drew 0-0 to make Les Bleus topped the group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
