Uruguay booked their place at the 2022 World Cup in the early hours of Friday morning UK time.Their 1-0 victory at home over Peru thanks to a goal from Giorgian de Arrascaeta in first half stoppage-time was enough to secure a top four spot in CONMEBOL qualifying.Uruguay are now four points clear of Peru in fifth-place with just one game left to play, which means that gap cannot be bridged.The latest meeting between the two nations was certainly not controversy free, though.In second half stoppage-time, Peru thought they had scored a dramatic late equaliser when goalkeeper Sergio Rochet looked as if he had carried the ball over the line.The Nacional shot-stopper ended up halfway inside his own goal and to the naked eye, it appeared a rather comical blunder had been made by him.But despite VAR being in place, the goal wasn't given and it's fair to say many football fans were baffled by that outcome - especially after seeing footage and still photos of the incident.
