#4 Peru carry their flair, and their form, into the second match
Peru were one of the most entertaining teams in the first round of the World Cup. The fact that they ended up without any points after the opener against Denmark meant the world didn't afford them the kind of attention that it did the likes of Iceland, Mexico and Switzerland.
A solitary goal on the counter cost them the game in the previous fixture and their failure to trouble the scorers was the only aspect that could be faulted on their memorable debut at the competition.
France were woken up by a strong start to the game by Peru, who began the game like they did their opener against Denmark - with intensity. France were pushed onto the backfoot for the entirety of the opening 10 minutes; it was all Peru. They hurried and harried the French players when without the ball, and tried to be direct when they did have it.
Unfortunately, though, their inability to find the back of the net also carried over from the fixture against Denmark, as they passed up a few very presentable opportunities to take the lead - including a couple which were saved by Hugo Lloris in goal.
