The most important game for Argentiana like DO OR DIE
The last time these two teams met in World Cup Qualifying was on September 10, 2008, where they drew 1-1 in Lima.
Unfortunately for Peru, no result from this game will increase their chances for a ticket to South Africa, as they were the first team to be eliminated from South America World Cup Qualifying. Currently they sit at the bottom of the table with just 2 wins, 4 ties, and 10 losses.
Argentina is in a much more interesting situation, to say the least. Currently sitting in 5th place of the 10 COMNEBOL teams, they no longer hold their fate concerning automatic qualifying to South Africa.
Not only does coach Diego Maradona and his currently struggling team need a win here, but they also need a few other games to go their way in order to secure that all too important 4th spot. Otherwise, they will go to a home-and-away playoff with a CONCACAF team or worse, go nowhere at all.
