AI INSIGHT Argentina decisively defeated Peru 6-0 to secure the four-goal margin needed to advance to the 1978 World Cup final over rivals Brazil. Key goals were scored by Mario Kempes and Leopoldo Luque, who both found the net twice during the dominant performance. Despite the victory, the match remains historically controversial due to widespread allegations of political interference and match-fixing by the Argentine military dictatorship.
