SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Peru were already out of the World Cup before they beat Australia 2-0 on Tuesday but the victory was not enough to shake a bitter taste in the mouth of man of the match Andre Carrillo.

The winger scored a lovely first half goal and was a constant threat to Australia's bigger and burlier defenders. However, losses in Peru's first two Group C games to France and Denmark doomed the South Americans to an early exit from Russia.
