Peru’s position in the 2026 Qualifying Table
Peru receives Venezuela in Lima at the end of the date. The ‘bicolor’ is playing its last chance to alleviate the opaque performance in the Conmebol qualifying process with five consecutive winless games that sent it to last place in the table. The match is played and the ‘bicolor’ wins 1-0 with a goal from Yoshimar Yotún.

The continuity of coach Juan Reynoso is in doubt and his permanence is questioned due to the game shown, in addition to the string of defeats in the last four presentations: Brazil (0-1), Chile (0-2), Argentina (0- 2) and Bolivia (0-2). He only managed one point once morest Paraguay in Asunción.

Precisely, in the duel once morest the ‘green’ in La Paz, a shot on goal was only achieved following 403 minutes of play thanks to the header of attacker Gianluca Lapadula, who made his debut in the competition. In fact, the Inca team has not managed to score a goal and it is the worst drought in history in the Qualifiers and they received seven goals.
The ‘blanquirroja’ arrives at the duel with the ‘vinotinto’, surpassed by the ‘green’, who won with goals from Henry and Ramiro Vaca and allowed them to break a bad streak of defeats in La Paz. In fact, the three points helped them leave the bottom of the table and place themselves two points ahead of the Inca team (10th).
Now, Reynoso must face the ‘llaneros’ with a difficult and uphill challenge due to the sporting and non-sporting context, plagued by criticism and with fans clamoring for his departure within the country and abroad. The rival is the surprise of the qualifying competition by maintaining eight points in the classification zone (4th). Those led by coach Fernando Batista went four games without losing, among them the draw once morest Brazil as a visitor stands out. However, they let two points slip away in their last game once morest Ecuador in Maturín and, now, they will try to strike a blow.
