The 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification AFCCONMEBOL play-off was a single-leg match between the winner of the AFC fourth round play-off, Australia, and the fifth-placed team from CONMEBOL, Peru. The match was played on 13 June 2022 at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar. Australia won 5–4 on penalties following a 0–0 draw after extra time to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Background

The draw for the inter-confederation play-off fixtures was held on 26 November 2021.[4]

The match was the second meeting between Australia and Peru.[5] The sides previously met four years earlier in the 2018 FIFA World Cup Group C, with Peru winning 2–0 when La Blanquirroja was already eliminated.[6] Before the match, most football commentators lauded Peru as the better team and had low expectations of Australia, which struggled in the Asian qualifiers.

Match

Summary

The match ended as a scoreless draw. In the 120th minute, Australian goalkeeper Mathew Ryan was subbed off for Andrew Redmayne. During the penalty shoot-out, Redmayne gained notoriety for his dance-like movements, which he used to confuse the Peruvian players.[7][8] This strategy succeeded, as Redmayne stopped the decisive penalty from Alex Valera diving low to his right-hand side.[9]

Graham Arnold's decision to sub Redmayne in evoked the 2014 FIFA World Cup quarter-final match between Costa Rica and the Netherlands, when Dutch coach Louis van Gaal subbed Jasper Cillessen off for Tim Krul in the 120th minute, as Krul successfully stopped two penalties to eliminate Costa Rica.[10][11][12]
