Denmark spoiled Peru’s first World Cup game since 1982 with a 1-0 victory in Saransk on Saturday.
Peru came out looking like it wanted to make up for those 36 years with an aggressive offense. And it looked like it would be rewarded when it drew a penalty late in the first half. The penalty was not immediately called, but signaled after a quick video review.
Christian Cueva stepped up, but hit as bad of a penalty shot as you will see, sending the ball far over the goal.
Denmark broke through in the 60th minute.
