Peru 2 Scotland 0: World Cup-bound hosts cruise to win

Goals from Christian Cueva and Jefferson Farfan helped Peru past Scotland in an international friendly.

Peru outclassed an undermanned Scotland in a 2-0 friendly win as they continued their World Cup preparations on Tuesday.

Christian Cueva scored a first-half penalty at the Estadio Nacional de Lima, where the hosts started well but struggled to create clear-cut chances.

But they were far more dominant in the second half, particularly after Jefferson Farfan doubled their lead.

While they were unable to claim a more comprehensive win, Peru recorded their fourth straight victory as they look ahead to their first World Cup appearance in 36 years.
