Peru's soccer team will make its debut against the Qatari one at Copa America 2020 in Medellin (Colombia) on June 14.
But this is not the first time Peru will face Qatar. The Inca squad already managed to defeat its counterpart in a friendly match held in Doha back five years ago.
Fans expect to repeat the result of the first match both teams played on September 9, 2014. On that occasion, Qatar was beaten by Peru (0-2) thanks to the goals scored by Alexander Callens and
Paolo Guerrero.
At that time, the squad used to be coached by Uruguayan Pablo Bengoechea.
