Peruvian shamans on Friday performed a ritual ahead of their national football team's World Cup qualifier against Australia.
The decider is being played in Qatar's Al Rayyan stadium Monday.
The shamans, hailing from the mountains, the jungle and the coast all gathered to perform the ritual, which they believe will help Peru beat Australia.
Blowing smoke and holding posters of the Peruvian team, the shamans called attention to their desire to win.
"We have had to give reinforcement and strength to continue to get the end result we want," said Ana María Simeon during the ceremony.
