Dinamo Moscow visited Spartak in the Russian Cup and 'extuzo' Luis Chávez had his first call-up with the team.
The Mexican came off the bench in this match and made his debut wearing the Dinamo shirt at the end of the game, but with a good performance during the time he spent on the field, as he provided the assist for Dinamo's only goal.
Luis Chávez, wearing the number '24', entered the field at 63', when his team was already losing 0-4 against Spartak, replacing Smolov.
With Chávez on the field, Dinamo scored their first goal in the 65th minute, courtesy of Cameroonian player Moumi Ngamaleu, after receiving a pass from the Mexican in a corner kick.
In the end, the Group D match in the third round of the Russian Cup finished with a score of 4-1 against Dinamo Moscow, but despite the defeat, Chávez can breathe easy as he fulfills his dream of playing his first game in that European country.
THIS WAS THE CONTROVERSY
Luis Gerardo Chávez went through a whole soap opera to join Dinamo Moscow.
After the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where the midfielder from Cihuatlán, Jalisco, was called up by Gerardo Martino and had a good individual performance, despite Mexico's failure in the tournament, Pachuca rejected an offer from Feyenoord in the Netherlands and another from Fenerbahçe in Turkey for Chávez.
The player had to hold back his anger and stay with the team for one more season. However, his patience ran out in the current summer transfer window, as the club demanded a lot of money for the player to fulfill his dream of playing in Europe.
Everything exploded when Dinamo Moscow showed interest in the Mexican and tried to buy him directly from Pachuca, but the blanquiazul club announced that they could not negotiate due to the economic restrictions and sanctions that the United States has on Russian companies.
This led Luis Chávez to manage, with the advice of his agent, the payment corresponding to his release clause with Dinamo and then, the player himself made the deposit for his disengagement from Club Pachuca, so the midfielder left for his adventure in Russia, where he made his debut on Tuesday.
