As is known, the Inca team will face New Zealand in the first leg of the Peru-New Zealand FIFA World Cup intercontinental playoff tie in the coming days.

Peru arrived without their captain and all-time leading scorer Paolo Guerrero, who has been suspended for 30 days by soccer's governing body FIFA for producing abnormal doping test result after a World Cup goal-less draw against Argentina on October 5.
