The former champions (Chile) have been trashed out of
the tournament by an unexpected, surprising and the most underrated nation Peru
on 4th July 2019 at Arena do Gremio. An utter defeat by Chile was
not at all expected by the fans and by the players, it was absolute humiliation.
Peru fired 3 straight goals, two in the 1st half and the third one
in the last minute. Later in the injury time, Chile was awarded a penalty
but E.Vargas was not able to convert it. This match was played at foremost
level you’ll ever imagine, in this whole tournament, although Chile was leading
the ball procession, but Peru nailed their chances to success, whereas Chile couldn’t.
Sanchez and Vidal we trying their best to hit the target, but all the prizes
they got was cross bar and misses.
MY OPINION: So the big question is where Chile lost the match, in my opinion they
lost their match at their worst defense. In total, the Peru came up with 6
shots out of which 3 were on target, and all three were converted to goals. The
problem started with the defense and by
the worst goalkeeping by G.Arias. Throughout the 90 mins, Peruvian were totally
humiliating the defense side of the Chile , making their runs in the D’s, and
they made huge amount of chances. When it came to Chile’s side for attacking, Peru
just parked the bus, with nine players defending. No doubt about the Chileans
die hard dedication until the last minute, but it’s always the luck which stays
by your side.
FACTS: Peru eliminated Chile for the first time
since 1979 edition of Copa America.
NEXT FIXTURE: Brazil vs Peru (finals)
Argentina vs Chile (third place)
