Australia 0 Peru 2: Guerrero stars as Gareca's men make proud exit

Peru left the World Cup with their heads held high after goals from Andre Carrillo and Paolo Guerrero earned them a 2-0 win over Australia.

Paolo Guerrero teed up Peru's first World Cup goal in 36 years before also finding the net himself as Ricardo Gareca's side ended Australia's slim qualification hopes with a 2-0 victory.

Experienced striker Guerrero, who was only allowed to play in the tournament after the captains of Peru's World Cup opponents petitioned FIFA to temporarily lift his 14-month suspension for a failed drug test, made the most of what may have been his final appearance for Los Incas, who finished with three points to add to the many plaudits they have earned in Russia.
