Not even the big victory over U de Chile prevented Sporting Cristal from receiving memes on social media (Facebook and Twitter).
The celestial team is the only one of the 3 big teams that achieved a victory on the day of their official presentation. Mario Salas' team defeated a tough U de Chile, who had taken the lead in the first half (41') with a goal from Soteldo.
But Junior Mejía, at 71', and Gabriel Costa, at 76', turned the match around and gave a big smile to the fans of Sporting Cristal who filled the stadium.
