This Monday, May 15, Christofer Gonzales stood out again with Al Adalah in the victory over Al Fateh, for matchday 27 of the Saudi Professional League. 'Canchita', along with André Carrillo , are the Peruvian ambassadors in the Asian tournament where they stand out every week with great performances. However, in this last match, the former Sporting Cristal player was crucial with a goal in his team's 4-2 away victory against Christian Cueva and Alex Valera's former team.
The goal came in the 59th minute of the game. The attendees at the Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium had seen how the Peruvian team had taken the lead with goals from Eugénio and Lenis. However, Martin Sevela's team was not satisfied and went in search of more.
Lenis started the play on the right wing, fooling Cristian Tello with a great feint. Immediately, very close to the opponent's area, he looked up and sent the ball towards Christofer Gonzales, who arrived alone and unmarked to connect a powerful header for the 3-0 in favor of Al Adalah.
With this goal, 'Canchita' has a total of four goals in the current season. So far in the tournament, he has scored against Al Fayha (2-1), Al Nassr (4-1), and Al Tai (2-2). It is worth mentioning that the Peruvian not only adds goals but also assists: four in total.
Al Adalah's upcoming challenges
After the match against Al Fateh, Al Adalah will have to focus on their next challenge in the Saudi Professional League. Their opponent will be none other than Al Hilal, the club where André Carrillo plays. The match will take place on Tuesday, May 23, starting at 11:00 am (Peruvian time).
It's worth noting that, after the match against Al Hilal, Martin Sevela's team will have two more tests before the end of the championship. In the final stretch, they will face Al Baten and Al Ettifaq, teams they will try to defeat to maintain their category.
