Regarding the VAR system which awarded Peru a penalty kick, Hareide wasn’t bothered, saying "I'm sure it was the correct decision. It was fine.”

"It (VAR) does make life easier for the referee,” he added.

Both of Peru and Denmark are competing in their fifth World Cup tournament. It was the first time for Peru to qualify for the World Cup since Spain 1982, while Denmark missed out on Brazil 2017.

Saturday’s match is important for both sides as they are fighting for the second spot for qualifying for the Round of 16, while France, also in Group C, are tipped as the most hopeful for the top spot.

A total of 40,502 spectators attended Saturday’s match at the 44,000-seat Mordovia Arena, among which Peru fans outnumbered Denmark supporters by a large margin.
