The Peruvian National Team did not start the best way in their match against Uruguay for the Pre-Olympic. The team led by Nolberto Solano found themselves behind in the score just 11 minutes into the first half, after midfielder Francisco Ginella scored the first goal of the match with a shot from outside the box.
In an attack by the Uruguayan National Team, Santiago Rodríguez took the ball from the left wing and evaded the mark of several Peruvians. Seeing that his teammate Francisco Ginella was unmarked, he decided to pass the ball to him and the Los Angeles FC midfielder wasted no time in taking a shot.
Francisco Ginella's shot was placed and no defender from the Peruvian National Team could deflect it. On the other hand, although goalkeeper Renato Solís - today is his birthday - managed to touch the ball slightly with his right hand, he did not do it with enough force to change its trajectory and it ended up in the back of the net.
