Diego Manicero has been nominated for the FIFA Puskás Award, given to the author of the best goal scored during the season. It was the Argentine midfielder who scored a brilliant goal against Diego Penny.
At the 41st minute of the first half at the Estadio Olímpico de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, the Cordoba player took an impressive shot from almost midfield and defeated San Martín's goal.
It was Carlos Stein's 1-0 in the match for the 16th round of the Torneo Apertura of the Liga 1. However, Juan Carlos Bazalar's team couldn't hold on to the advantage and the Albos turned the score around and took the victory.
This is Diego Manicero's fifth goal in the 2020 season, with previous spells at Belgrano, Alumni, Coquimbo Unido, León de Huánuco, Sporting Cristal, Universitario de Deportes and Carlos A. Mannucci. He previously scored against Sporting Cristal, Melgar, Atlético Grau and Sport Boys.
