Australia celebrate after defeating Peru in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Playoff match between Australia Socceroos and Peru at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium on 13 June, 2022 in Doha, Qatar.Andrew Redmayne has etched his name into Australian sporting history as the Socceroos qualified for this year's World Cup with a penalty shootout win over Peru in Qatar.
His decision to bring on Redmayne in place of Ryan just before fulltime will go down as a master-stroke with the Sydney FC goalkeeper joining Mark Schwarzer and John Aloisi as a World Cup penalty shootout hero. Nathaniel Atkinson gave Australia an early headache when he was booked in just the 12th minute for pulling back Peru star Christian Cueva.
Peru grew into the half but also failed to get an effort on target in the opening 45, with Andre Carrillo and Luis Advincula in particular combining dangerously on the right. The first shot on target for either team came via Hrustic in the 81st minute but his long-range free-kick was easily claimed by Peru captain Pedro Gallese.
Flores had Peru's first shot on target in the game in the first period of extra-time but his effort from outside the box was straight at Ryan, who comfortably saved.
