The match became notable for causing controversy after it was annulled because of a pitch invasion from Peruvian supporters who had assaulted the Austrian players. Peru had three extra time goals disallowed by the referee and ended up winning the match 4–2. After the incidents, FIFA ordered the match to be played again without attending. As the Peruvian representatives could not appeal the decision the team withdrew without attending the replay (following an order of president Óscar R. Benavides), Austria were declared winners and advanced to the semifinals.Hace 75 años Perú se retiró de Berlín 36 tras "humillar" a Hitler on El Comercio, 10 August 2011 Match Lead-up In the first stage of the tournament, Peru (whose squad comprised members of Alianza Lima, Universitario de Deportes and 1935 league champions Sport Boys)Roberto Salinas http://www.cpdp.com.pe/2013/06/continuando-con-las-cronicas_17.html Continuando con las cronicas ... 24 June 2013 17 June 2013 CPDP es https://web.archive.org/web/20140222135345/http://www.cpdp.com.pe/2013/06/continuando-con-las-cronicas_17.html 22 February 2014 dead defeated Finland 7–3 (with Lolo Fernández scoring five goals),Fifa Report while Austria beat Egypt 3–1.

As a protest against these actions, which the Peruvians deemed as insulting and discriminatory, the entire Olympic delegations of Peru and Colombia left Germany. Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Mexico expressed their solidarity with Peru. Miguel Dasso, a member of the Peruvian Olympic Committee, stated: "We have no faith in European athletics. We have come here and found a bunch of merchants."http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,756542,00.html https://web.archive.org/web/20081215080225/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,756542,00.html dead December 15, 2008 Time Sport: Olympic Games (Concl'd) 1936-08-24 2010-05-02 The game was awarded to Austria by default. When the Peruvian team and delegation came back to Callao, they were warmly welcomed by thousands of people who acclaimed them as the true champions. In Peru, angry crowds protested against the decisions of the Olympic Committee by tearing down an Olympic flag, throwing stones at the German consulate, refusing to load German vessels in the docks of Callao, and listening to inflammatory speeches which included President Oscar Benavides Larrea's mention of "the crafty Berlin decision." It is speculated that Adolf Hitler and the Nazi authorities might have had some involvement in this situation, though this was not claimed at the time.http://www.peru.com/futbol/reportajes/2001/09/18/01.asp Las Olimpiadas de Berlín 2007-08-21 futbolperuano.com es dead https://web.archive.org/web/20070823005032/http://www.peru.com/futbol/reportajes/2001/09/18/01.asp 2007-08-23 Peru was coached by Alberto Denegri,FIFA.com whereas Austria was managed by Englishman James Hogan.
