Argentina 6–0 Peru was a football match between Argentina and Peru that took place on 21 June 1978 during the 1978 FIFA World Cup within Group B. In order to advance to the final ahead of Brazil by goal difference, host nation Argentina needed to win by three or four goals, depending on the number of goals scored. The match ended in a 6–0 Argentine victory with two goals from Mario Kempes, two goals from Leopoldo Luque, one goal by Alberto Tarantini and one from René Houseman. The 1978 World Cup concluded with Argentina earning their first championship title after beating the Netherlands 3–1. The match remains one of the most controversial in World Cup history as it has been speculated that there was some collusion in favour of Argentina, due to the tournament taking place during the military dictatorship of the National Reorganization Process under Jorge Rafael Videla, which in turn led to suspicion that the World Cup was being used as an attempt to appease the international community in the face of human rights violations.
