Peru has half a ticket to the World Cup! The Peruvian national team managed to beat Paraguay 2-1 and secured an extra match to try to reach Qatar 2022 World Cup through the repechage. On June 12 or 13 he will face the winner of Australia vs. Arab Emirates.
After the national victory, users on social networks celebrated this triumph by sharing and creating funny memes about what happened on this last day of the South American Qualifiers.
The most used character was Gianluca Lapadula, the Italian-Peruvian footballer who scored the first goal of the match. They took the opportunity to recall that the Italian national team failed to qualify after falling due to the slightest difference to North Macedonia.
They also highlighted that Chile was left without the World Cup for another year, as the southern team dreamed of returning to a World Cup after the good campaign they did in 2014, but they have not been able to repeat this feat again, since they did not qualify for Russia 2018 either.
Another moment used by netizens was the slap that Will Smith gave Chris Rock during the Oscars, this to represent how 'Bicolor' left the Chileans out of the race and colombians.
It should be noted that the Peruvian fans who attended the National Stadium stayed minutes after the end of the match to sing the song 'Contigo Peru', which was sung with great emotion by Gianluca Lapadula himself.
