The World Cup run for the Socceroos has come to an end after a 2-0 loss to Peru.


A stunning Andre Carrillo volley gave Peru their first World Cup goal in 36 years before captain Paolo Guerrero grabbed a second as the Andean nation condemned the Socceroos to a 2-0 defeat in Sochi on Tuesday and an early exit from Russia.

 

Guerrero set up Carrillo's 18th-minute wonder goal from the edge of the box with a delightful cross, then scored from a deflection five minutes after the interval to send Peru's red-and-white army of fans into ecstasy at the Fisht Stadium.
