[@anglowarrior3871]

Surprises me that this was ( and still is by many)considered such a shock.Peru were the current Copa America holders,the game was played in South America and they had been quarter finalists in 1970 and had a now prime Cubillas,it should have been obvious that this would be a tough match.

[@AlexOjideagu2]

I Think partly because Scotland had so many great players winning Leagues and European Cups with Liverpool. (Their performance against the Netherlands later showed their talent). Also people didn't see much world football outside the world cup back then, so it was mostly just people making up assumptions about teams they'd not even seen play. Although South America was highly respected in football, it was a bit strange why Peru were THAT underestimated.

[@nomercy2968]

Poor Ally MacLeod (R.I.P.), did not do his homework. Cubillas played free of mark. It was a walk in the park for him.

I was around 11, these were the first World Cup matches i saw. Being from England, I remember following the Scotland matches, and i remember those Cubillas goals.

I remember thinking a few days before this match, how Scotland and fans, underestimated how good Peru was and what a great team they had at the time with the great Cubillas. Some Scots already had penciled this match as a win. And who could forget Rod Stewart and his rendition of "Que sera, sera". Cheers from Down Under.

[@johnbuggy9121]

That was Coleman's trademark. He was a great commentator, but his impartiality did seep through occasionally - it is noticeable in the '78 final when the Argentines scored the second goal that he wasn't too happy about it! "I don't believe it, it's gone in!".

Am scottish myself back in 78 we had great individuals but couldn't defend when it mattered. Peru had great side all south American sides were back then still are now how we beat Holland but failed to win against Iran was also frustrating for scottish fans and players of course. I hope one day we can compete again at world cups and European championships to get out of group would be amazing. But every player that represents Scotland should have it drilled into them that winning is what matters cos I think we have been beaten before we start mindset which in my humble opinion needs to change in scottish sport not just football.

@@De1966Laney I don't know where I stand on the 'conspiracy' question-mark that's hung over that 2nd phase game for so many years. Yes, there was shadowy skullduggery in abundance taking place during this Jacobean drama of a World Cup. It's true that Vidella visited Peru's dressing-room with Henry Kissinger et al before the match, but didn't one of the Peruvian wingers (Oblitas?) hit the post in the first-half? That shows they had intent to score/attack. Who knows what happened during the half-time team-talk? Peru's spirit and resistance crumbled, and the rest is world football history.

@@richardgere9365 Argentina needed to win by four in that match - and that's a big number in the context of an international match. The fact that they scored six definitely raises suspicion for me.
