Christian Cueva (25 years old) continues his excellent start to the year with Sao Paulo. The Peruvian midfielder scored the 1-0 in the match between his team and Ituano in the Paulista Tournament on Saturday. The finish was subtle and sent the ball to the center of the opposing goal to give the advantage to the tricolor team.
It was the 42nd minute of the first half, when, in an attack by Sao Paulo, Argentine forward Lucas Pratto organized a play and served to his right for the right back of the team, Bruno. The 31-year-old defender centered the ball and Cueva appeared in the center of the area to finish first.
His shot beat goalkeeper Fabio at the Morumbi Stadium. Sao Paulo's midfielder scored for the second consecutive game, despite having recovered from an injury in recent days. He last scored a goal against ABC in the Copa do Brasil.
Christian Cueva is one of the players called up by Ricardo Gareca for the upcoming double date that the Peruvian National Team will play in the qualifiers against Venezuela and Uruguay. However, he will be one of the last to join the group that is already training at the Videna.
