Udo may not have heard the result or have not gone to Bbc sport news or other sports news site to copy and past here. The match ended 1-0 in favour of Peru,The only goal of the match came from Hamburg’s Paolo Guerrero in the 37th minute.Their excuse is high tym travelling to Peru and Keshi used home base and kept the 6 foriegn base on the bench. The only attempt by S.C.is from Uche Kalu. Wat a shame,na waooooo,Udo wake up.
