Note 1: Peru's 1–0 friendly win against Senegal on 28 June 2011, in which Guerrero scored the only goal, is not considered a full A-international match by FIFA, and is thus not included in the list above.[1]

Note 2: In a World Cup qualifier on 10 October 2017 where Peru drew with Colombia 1–1, FIFA's match summary lists Peru's goal as an own goal by David Ospina. CONMEBOL and other sources have had match reports that gave the goal to Guerrero.[4][5] The goal was a result of an indirect free kick that Guerrero struck on target, and therefore required a touch from Ospina in order to stand. Additionally, FIFA's match report has officially given the goal as an own goal; thus, it is not included in the list above.[6]
