The dream of Melgar in the 2022 Copa Sudamericana ended abruptly with the painful 3-0 defeat that Independiente del Valle inflicted on them in Arequipa to settle the semifinal series with a global score of 6-0. After the defeat at the Monumental de la UNSA, the name of Kevin Quevedo became a trend on social media.
The reason? It turns out that the fans of the Arequipeño team criticized the performance of the attacker, who started as a starter, against the Ecuadorians.
"Kevin Quevedo is worth nothing in Melgar. And they don't even mark well", "Why do they take so long to substitute Quevedo and Iberico? It's like playing with two fewer players", "Quevedo doesn't show up either", "You can't put Quevedo in a Sudamericana semifinal," are some of the comments that can be read on Twitter.
