VS.

Peru si do hlavního města Lima pozvalo Nigérii a kouč Sergio Markarián na tento zápas nominoval všechny hvězdy včetně legionářů. Sestava tak vypadá velmi slušně, když hráče z domácí ligy doplňují kvalitní legionáři. Jedná se o obránce Santiago Acasiete (Alemira), Alberto Rodrígueze (Sporting Lisabon). Dále o ofenzivní hráře jako Vargas (Fiorentina), Cruzado (Chievo), Ramírez (Corinthians). Hlavní respekt poté budí útok a trio snajprů z Bundesligy (Pizarro, Guerrero, Farfán). Peru prostě domácí přípravu nevyužilo k experimentování a pozvalo nejsilnější možnou sestavu.

Nigérie zvolila opačnou variantu a do Peru jede zkoušet mladé hráče, kteří převážně hrají v domácí lize. Žádný z fotbalistů poté nemá za "A" tým odehráno více jak pět zápasů. Trenér Stephen Keshi nechá odpočívat všechny hvězdy a v nominaci tak není žádný z klasických legionářů. Všichni tito fotbalisté, tak dnes nehrají:

Jedná se o všechny hvězdy a mladé a nezkušené hráče čeká v Peru velice těžký zápas. To totiž pojalo zápas před vlastním publikem jako prezentaci síly reprezentace a zkušenost domácího kapitána v počtu reprezentačních startů se rovná součtu všech startů celého nominovaného týmu Nigérie. Očekávám, že doma si Peru s africkým protivníkem poradí.
