Since taking charge of Peru in 2015, Gareca rightfully earned widespread praise. The Argentinian earned the team a third-place Copa America finish in 2015 before following that up with a runners-up finish in 2019 while also qualifying the nation for the 2018 World Cup.

Australian coach Arnold is clearly emotional in his post-match interview and understandably so.

He came under scathing criticism due to Australia’s inconsistent performances since he became the team’s coach in 2018.

Australian coach Arnold made a big decision to replace Mat Ryan with Andrew Redmayne.

It paid off as the substitute goalie made two key saves to see Australia home to a fifth consecutive World Cup in Qatar this November.
