Christian Cueva is on a roll: the Peruvian midfielder scored a new goal with Al-Fateh

Christian Cueva gives him the partial victory of Al-Fateh (2-0) against Al-Ettifaq for the Saudi Professional League. The midfielder of the Peruvian team started the match with great intensity, constantly looking for the goal and his efforts paid off: ‘Aladino’ also scored the second for his team.

At 33′, the national midfielder found the ball in the rival area after a cross from his teammate. The footballer did not think twice and took a strong shot that was impossible for the goalkeeper to stop. Immediately, the player received recognition from his teammates.

Before, ten minutes into the match, Cueva had excelled with a great goal for the 1-0. Al-Fateh’s attacker drove the balloon into the rival box. Three men from Al-Ettifaq tried to stop him, therefore, the ’10’ made a cut to get out of the mark of the opponent’s defenders. When he was in a good position, he unleashed a powerful shot that hit the corner.

Without a doubt, it has been a round week for ‘Aladdin’. Last Tuesday, the national midfielder returned from a suspension (he saw the red against Al Ahli SC) in a big way: he dispatched with a brace and an assist to help his team get out of the direct relegation zone in the Professional League Saudi.

Christian Cueva is Peru’s top scorer in the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers

‘Aladino’ not only shines in his club, but also in the Peruvian national team. Christian Cueva is the current scorer for the ‘Blanquirroja’ in the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers, as he has five goals. The steering wheel marked Ecuador, Chile, Venezuela (x2) and Bolivia. In all those matches, Ricardo Gareca’s squad emerged victorious.

The Al-Fateh man missed the recent match against the team led by Ricardo Alfaro in Lima (1-1) due to the accumulation of yellow cards. However, the ‘Tiger’ may consider him for the matches against Uruguay and Paraguay for the last double day.
