Peru earned a draw against Paraguay at the start of the 2026 South American qualifiers, adding a point in the qualifying standings. Juan Reynoso was also heavily criticized by the Peruvian fans, although the strategist knew how to maintain the tie against Albirroja, since he played with one less player due to the expulsion of Luis Advíncula. Even after the end of the game, the Paraguayan press was not satisfied with the team’s result.
Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s team’s 0-0 draw was questioned by journalists who said they had lost two points and that Paraguay’s big problem was their attack.
“The huge deficit and ineffectiveness in conversion. We lost two points at home. Once again we couldn’t beat the Peruvian team,” they explained.

Likewise, Paraguayan journalism assumes that Albirroja will not take part in the World Cup unless they can beat a team like Peru, which has one player less; This minimizes the Blanquirroja squad.
“We’re not going to this World Cup anymore. If we don’t beat this Peru with one less win, we won’t beat anyone. I wasted my time watching a national team game. “Nothing good will come from the coaches we have.” They are useless. “Unhappy. What dead people! They will say we are unlucky,” they said.
