In addition, Gareca’s team has experience in playoffs, since, precisely, the New Zealanders were contenders on the way to Russia and it was a 2-0 overall victory (0-0 in Wellington and 2-0 in Lima).

“We never felt like favorites and I think that is one of our virtues. From humility you have to build a path to victory. In all the Qualifiers we do not feel like favorites on any date. Even playing with those who are not in the World Cup today”, recently assured Renato Tapia, one of the regulars in Gareca’s ‘eleven’ to face the ‘kangaroos’.
