After holding Argentina to a goalless draw, Peru will host Colombia at the Estadio Nacional on the last matchday, in a challenging 'winner takes it all' situation.

With Peru tied with Argentina on the table and Colombia one point above the Albiceleste, the clash between the two World Cup aspirants would be a telling tale for Argentina's future in the competition.

Peru tasting defeat at the hands of the Colombians would be the ideal result the men in white and blue would be hoping for, in case there own match is tied. But, ironically, a Peruvian victory by a small margin would be more helpful for the Argentines if they win against Ecuador by a bigger margin.

Starting the game at the same time, Argentina players would need to be focused on their own duties against Ecuador, which can certainly take them to at least the playoffs against New Zealand from Oceania, which they are expected to win.
