When everything seemed to indicate that the first half of the duel between Cesar Vallejo vs. Magellanfor the fifth date of the South American Cup 2023, would culminate with a 2-0 in favor of the ‘Poeta’ squad, the visit woke up and discounted through Carlos Villanueva. The Chilean midfielder surprised with a great definition of the cue for the ‘Albicelestes’ discount.
The action occurred after 41 minutes of play. On the left wing, those led by Mariano Salas put together a good play. Zapata received in the rival area and hit a powerful shot with his left leg. Although the ball did not go towards Grados’ goal, Villanueva appeared with a great resource.
And it is that the Chilean midfielder, before the mark of two rivals, surprised with a heel shot, mocking the Peruvian goalkeeper, who did not expect the change of trajectory of the leather. In this way, Magallanes discounted and took a breather at the Mansiche Stadium, in Trujillo.
