The Danish, meanwhile, didn’t have a good chance either in the first half. In the 32nd minute, William Kvist was forced off by injury.
Seven minutes later, Denmark got a free kick opportunity after Renato Tapia was given a yellow card. Star man Christian Eriksen kicked the ball wide and Lasse Schone followed with a shot but was saved by the Peru goalkeeper Pedro Gallese.
Paces picked up in the second half, as the Danish emerged from break with more attacking intents and broke the deadlock in the 59th minute with Poulsen's clever goal.
Guerrero nearly leveled the score for Peru through a backheel kick minutes after he came off the bench but the ball trickled wide.
FIFA statistics showed that Peru made 17 attempts at the goal throughout the match, while Denmark made 10. Ball possession was 52 percent for Peru and 48 percent for Denmark.
“Peru didn’t deserve to lose,” said Peru coach Ricardo Gareca after the match, but added that he had no complaint, as his team had done their best and Denmark are a strong team.
Having the fight against France in mind, Gareca expected his men to reflect upon the match and come to terms with the defeat. “I think we have to stay cool and calm. We lost one match, but we have three matches…We do not cry over spilled milk. We have to recover as soon as possible,” he said.
Denmark coach Age Hareide, meanwhile, expressed respect to Peru’s style of playing. “The South American style are quick, good original play… Today we are on the lucky side. Next time Peru might be on the lucky side,” he said.
