To dream of the direct final: goal by Bernardo Cuesta for the 1-0 of Melgar vs. Atlético Grau [VIDEO].

Lunes 24 de Octubre del 2022

The Argentine forward, with a great finish, scored Melgar's 1-0 over Atlético Grau in the match corresponding to matchday 18 of the Clausura 2022 Tournament.

The heat of Piura does not intimidate Melgar, and although they struggled to create clear scoring chances, they finally managed to take the lead against Atlético Grau. Bernardo Cuesta scored a great header and secured the 1-0 victory for 'Dominó' in the match corresponding to matchday 18 of the Torneo Clausura 2022.

It all started with Paolo Reyna, who dribbled down the left wing to find Alexis Arias. Then, 'Chaka' looked up and did not hesitate to send a precise cross to the heart of the penalty area, where Cuesta appeared and only had to direct his header to score the first goal of the afternoon.

If this result remains, the team led by Pablo Lavallén would be guaranteeing, at least, direct qualification to the final of the Liga 1 2022 - by being the champion of the Torneo Apertura and being among the top two in the accumulated table. On the other hand, 'Albos' need to turn the situation around if they want to keep dreaming of qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana 2023.
