Peru will receive Argentina at the National Stadium in Lima tonight, Tuesday, October 17th, for the fourth round of the Eliminatory matches towards the 2026 North American World Cup. In that vein, the well-known Argentine journalist, Juan Pablo Varsky, surprised everyone by recalling with emotion Teófilo Cubillas, one of the greatest Peruvian footballers of all time.
As we know, 'El Nene' is one of the greatest gems that South American football has had in its entire history, so it is no surprise that he is recognized internationally. This is how the Argentine communicator decided to leave him an emotional message through his official Twitter account.
"Argentina faces Peru tonight. Perfect excuse to remember one of the greatest playmakers that South American football has had in recent decades: Teófilo Cubillas. This is what he did against Scotland in 1978", Juan Pablo Varsky said on his social media.
As we remember, in that match against the Scots in the 1978 World Cup, Teófilo Cubillas scored an amazing free-kick goal with a three-finger shot that is still remembered by football fans to this day. Below, we leave you the tremendous goal by the Peruvian.
