.....a lacklustre Peru performance down to poor preparation, with Ricardo Gareca’s side seemingly struggling with Middle East conditions having arrived only three days out from the match, and a degree of complacency.

“I think there is a combination of things; Peru underestimated how difficult the conditions were going to be,” Schwarzer explained.

“Yes, in an air-conditioned stadium its different, but it is the training, when they arrive at the airport, when they go to the hotel, (the heat) hits you like a brick wall.

I think the players struggled with the conditions, the players, they looked leggy. I also think they watched the UAE game and thought they had this in the bag.

The goalkeeper has suddenly become Australia's most famous sportsman after his crucial save kept Alex Valera's shot out of the net - and untold hours of study helped him know which way to go when boot was put to ball.

'We watch video footage religiously of where they [penalty shots] go, historically,' he told the Today show. 'I've watched any of the penalties that any Peruvian player has ever taken on.

'We had a meeting on game day and set in stone that I was going to my right and he [Valera] has taken three penalties in his career. One's gone down the middle and he's scored twice.'
