Overview

• Chile beat Peru 2-1 in Santiago, with the deciding goal coming in stoppage time from a Matías Lazo own goal after Peru had led through César Inga.
• Manuel Barreto handed senior debuts to Felipe Chávez, Diego Enríquez, Matías Lazo and Maxloren Castro in an experimental lineup averaging about 24 years of age.
• Chávez, an 18-year-old Bayern Munich midfielder, entered around the 77th minute and saw limited touches across roughly 15–18 minutes.
• Barreto praised Chávez’s quality and attitude, citing travel and time-change effects, as former players Diego Penny and Reimond Manco faulted his low involvement and mobility and fans online alleged teammates ignored him.
• FC Bayern Campus publicly congratulated Chávez on his first cap, and the Peruvian federation is treating October and planned November friendlies in Europe, including a Chile rematch and a game against Russia, as youth evaluation windows.
