Lapadula’s concern in the stands during Peru vs. Ecuador | VIDEO

The Peruvian team does not have a good performance against Ecuador, for date 16 of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers, and partially falls 1-0 at the National Stadium. Gianluca Lapadula, who could not play due to a problem with his nose, is in the stadium’s grandstand and did not hide his concern about the result.

The Italian-Peruvian attacker, who has scored two goals in the qualifying process, analyzed what was happening on the pitch, surely wanting to jump onto the pitch to try to reverse partial history. However, the footballer will have to prioritize his recovery to reach the double date in March, which will be decisive for the ‘Blanquirroja’.

Considering the 1-0 favorable to Ecuador and the other results achieved this Tuesday, the ‘Tri’ will ensure its passage to the World Cup, by placing in third place with 27 points. For its part, the Peruvian team remains in fifth place, in the playoff zone, with 20 units, one above Chile.

The preview of Peru vs. Ecuador

Peru, which occupies fourth position with 20 points, is not yet within reach of direct classification, but a victory over the Tricolor would leave the ‘Blanquirroja’ with fifth place almost assured, which gives the right to play the playoffs. If the Peruvian team wins, it would be the first time that they have achieved four consecutive wins in qualifying rounds after the victories against Bolivia (3-0), Venezuela (1-2) and Colombia (0-1) that have raised them to the positions of direct qualification for the World Cup.

Both Peruvians and Ecuadorians will face this duel with sensitive casualties that will force their respective coaches to make changes to the starting team compared to their last games in the qualifying rounds.

It should be noted that Ricardo Gareca will not be able to have Christian Cueva, Peru’s most decisive player in these qualifiers, who is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards and, in his place, Raziel García will probably act.
