Watford forward Carrillo was on target

As the cross came in off the boot of Guerrero, Andre Carrillo who had made ground towards the right corner of the penalty area hit a perfect volley, firm and low. It was a perfect goal to cap off a move that was slick and quick to open the account for Peru in this World Cup.

Carrillo who has had a tremendous tournament will probably be on the radar of top clubs, and here he performed like a star-in-waiting. Andre Carrillo's goal was the first for Peru in a World Cup finals since Guillermo La Rosa scored in the 1-5 defeat to Poland in 1982 and it was from their 28th shot in the tournament.

The Peruvian deservedly got the man of the match award and the 40,000 travelling Peruvian fans at Sochi deservedly gave him the standing ovation as he was substituted in the 78th minute. On the evidence of this form, Watford fans will hope that Carrillo extends his stay at Vicarage Road.
