Mauricio Viana's risky strategy
Mauricio Viana is one of the best goalkeepers in the Torneo de Verano. However, the Sporting Cristal goalkeeper uses a somewhat dangerous strategy for his team: on many occasions, he goes up several meters to play as a libero, and in the match against Cantolao, this did not work in his favor and generated the opposing team's equalizer.
Everything happened in the 33rd minute, when the Chilean goalkeeper passed the ball to the central defender Luis Abram, and instead of continuing the play forward, he had the idea of going backwards. Cantolao advanced their lines and recovered the ball after a defensive mistake. The ball fell to José Manzaneda, who shot and scored the temporary 1-1.
Finally, the match ended with a 4-1 victory for 'Delfín'. This was their first official victory of the year, and it was Sporting Cristal's first home defeat. The 'celestes' have gone three games without being able to win, and next Thursday they will host Santos at the Estadio Nacional for the Copa Libertadores.
