Colombia vs Peru: Tapia and Falcao repeat a decisive match after the ‘Pact of Lima’

Colombia Y Peru again have a decisive match in the Qualifying for Qatar 2022, as happened in the previous process towards Russia 2018. The match will be played with the memory of the controversial ‘Pact of Lima’ at the National Stadium.

That time, Colombia and Peru tied 1-1, a result that gave the coffee growers a direct place in the World Cup, while Peru was given the opportunity to play the playoffs. The goal was just to keep the score.

For this to happen, Radamel Falcao approached Renato Tapia and several selected Peruvians, indicating that the result helped both of them. What was seen later was a calmer game, very different from when it started and both were looking for a win to ensure their classification.

Due to the results of the other matches, Peru and Colombia managed to reach the World Cup, in the face of an evident discomfort in many Chilean fans, who were eliminated only by point difference.

The duel to be played on Friday, January 28, once again has Peru and Colombia in need of points. Colombia is in the qualifying position, but must win after not being able to beat Paraguay on the last date, where they were also local.

For its part, Peru has a chance to increase its chances of qualifying, stealing visiting points, taking into account that they still have to play against Uruguay and then against Ecuador and Paraguay, both at home.
