Pretty sure I've seen Oli Sail run out of his box more in this half than I have during his entire career at the Nix. Is that out of necessity or just lack of familiarity and trust with his centre backs? Either way heart attack inducing stuff.
Getting to half time without conceding is crucial with regards to the big dance next week. No small feat given how starved of possession we've been. But you get the feeling the levee is gonna break soon. Would love to see us have some proper build up play and maybe get a few more shots off in the second half before that happens.
We've also managed to slow the game down much to the ire of the Peruvians but need to get some passing accuracy and possession retention going to match.
The standard of reffing has been really good though. Had forgotten what that was like.
