- Peru didn’t score a single goal and the 1st half ended with the France in the lead.
- In the 2nd half, Peru still looked hopeful and their dominance in possession was allowing them to get near to France’s goal post.
- But, the Frenchmen were pretty impressive in their defense as they defied Peru’s attackers to pass through.
- In the dying moments of the game, Peru got a free kick but despite being on target it didn’t convert into a goal and France won the match.

“I never liked talking about age. If you’re good you play, if you’re not good you don’t play. If you’re good, you take the responsibility. If you’re not good, you shut up and watch the others. Don’t talk to me about age, talk to me about levels.”

Luka Modric is simply a joy to watch. He’ll be 33 in two months yet he’s still dominating games at the highest level for both club and country. Another superb display tonight from the Croatia captain, stepping up when his team need him most.

Luka Modric, what an unbelievable baller, best midfielder in the world since 2013 in my opinion, what a beauty!
