The Copa Libertadores is always a great challenge for Peruvian teams. While there are already two of them who are out of competition, Alianza Lima and FBC Melgar, there is a player from one of these clubs who has managed to carve out a space in an imposing ranking.
We are referring to Bernardo Cuesta, who is a registered trademark at FBC Melgar, has been named one of the toughest '9's in the current edition of the tournament organized by Conmebol. And he leads the ranking of those who have tried the most towards goal.
With 25 shots on goal, Bernardo Cuesta is above international stars such as Dorlan Pabón from Atlético Nacional, Pablo Sabbag from Alianza Lima, and none other than Hulk from Mineiro. The Brazilian forward is not even a threat, as Cano from Fluminense is the closest to the 'Domino' element from Arequipa, with 24 attempts.
Cuesta is the player with the most shots in the Copa Libertadores so far.
As it is remembered, FBC Melgar has been eliminated from the Copa Libertadores after a poor first round in the group stage. The team coached by Mariano Soso hopes to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana against Olimpia.
When and at what time does Melgar vs. Olimpia play?
This match for the last round of Group H of the Copa Libertadores is scheduled to take place on June 27 at 7:00 pm in Peru and 8:00 pm in Paraguay. The meeting will be held at the Manuel Ferrerira Stadium in Asuncion.
