Australia had 14 shots on goal to Peru's four - only against Brazil in 2006 have the Socceroos had more in a FIFA World Cup™ match without finding the net.
But goals from Peru's Andre Carrillo and Paolo Guerrero, both against the run of play in either half, were the difference as the Socceroos ended their tournament campaign in defeat.
