The Peruvian U17 National Team faced the Uruguayan U17 National Team in a friendly match and goalkeeper Ian Schimitschek became the protagonist after an impressive save. It is worth mentioning that Peru lost the match at the Videna de San Luis.
A penalty in favor of the Uruguayan team arrived. Perez was in charge of taking it, but the Peruvian goalkeeper decided to distract the player by talking to him just before he shot towards the goal.
The act of Ian Schimitschek served as a distraction, as he managed to save the penalty kick from the Uruguayan player and the final result was two to zero.
The U17 Peruvian team played their first friendly match against Uruguay at Videna as part of their preparation for the seventh microcycle. The match took place at Campo 1 de la Videna.
The victory went to Uruguay, who achieved it with a brace from Carlos Da Rosa in the first half. The match will have a rematch, as they will face each other again on Thursday, with an eye on the U17 South American Championship that will take place in Ecuador.
Victor Reyes gave statements to the press after his sixth match as coach of the Peruvian U17 team: "The team, at times, did the work we have been practicing. In the first half, we had very clear mistakes that cost us the match. In the second half, we were able to level the game but already with the score against us it was a bit difficult. We tried to reduce the difference and couldn't score"
"We seek to have international exposure, more matches. At this age, we win more with international matches, which is where the player will develop better. This is formative football, we learn from these matches", he added.
