Once again, the target was Christian Cueva, the player who unleashes many passions within the followers of the bicolor.

A large number of people sentence Christian Cueva for the defeat of the peruvian team on Peace. A good part of the fans does not forgive the attacker who has tried to make a huacha when he had the possibility of passing. From that action the play of the Bolivian goal was born.

To clarify the debate a bit, El Comercio contacted some football figures to share their opinion on the matter. Almost 24 hours before the game, the mood is calmer and that play has been reviewed several times.

For the soccer player and scorer of Alianza Lima, Sandy Dorador, what of Christian Cueva It was a match situation because it is normal for there to be mistakes on the field of play and it can happen to anyone. Even the greatest, it has happened.

“They are plays that occur in the game. Nobody wants to do things wrong.

Sergio Ibarra as a player and, now, as a sportscaster, he doesn’t mince words. He always says what he thinks. The historical scorer of the Peruvian tournament, came out in defense of Christian Cueva every time he could.

To clarify a little more the play of Christian Cueva We are going to review frame by frame the goal action of Bolivia. And in this way it will be possible to clarify a little this debate that has been generated in social networks.

The context prior to 1-0 of Bolivia it favored everything to Peru. La Verde had been left with 10 players and went into despair. The Peruvian team had the match controlled and was closer to the goal than the Bolivian team.

Christian Cueva received a good ball pivoted by Santiago Ormeño. The skilled attacker had a simple option to continue the play. That was to give it to Yoshimar Yotún who had passed by the unmarked left side. However, he tried to make a huacha. To the bad luck of ‘Aladino’ the Bolivian player took the ball from him.

Peruvian team: Christian Cueva made a bad decision.  He preferred to make a huacha rather than give a safe pass to Yotún.

Another big mistake is the miscalculation of Marcos Lopez. The side had been playing a great game. In his eagerness to intercept the ball, he miscalculated and left free for Ramallo to have the entire left sector without any mark.

Peruvian national team: Marcos López miscalculated and let the ball pass.

The peruvian team It is not such a bad stop because in the area there were three defenders against two Bolivian forwards. Here he played against the despair of the Peruvians who lost control. For example, Advíncula cut very badly and left it served to Marcelo Martins.

In the images you can also see that Christian Cueva, the most criticized player, has already returned to the Peruvian area, even faster than Marcos López. And you can also see that the only front-line steering wheel that is present in Cartagena. Yotún and Gonzales are conspicuous by their absences.

Peruvian national team: Luis Advíncula also miscalculated and could not reject Ramallo's center.  Cueva has already returned, even faster than López.
Peruvian team: the defense was very badly stopped.  Mora also returned.  Gonzales and Yotún, no.

Marcelo Martins misses his shot that is rejected by Alexander Callens. Unfortunately, the ball was served for Vaca. Cartagena could not cover him because he went to help Advíncula to intercept the Bolivian scorer’s shot.

In this last image, you can see that Mora has already returned and joined the centrals. Christofer Gonzales is very late and Christian Cueva fails to block the Bolivian player’s shot. López was watching the play. Yotún did not return.

Peruvian national team: this is how the red-white was stopped before the Bolivian goal.  Cueva tried to block the shot, but it was too late.

This is how the goal of the Bolivian national team. It is not only the fault of Christian CuevaIt is true he lost a ball, but he did it in the opposite area. Peru had several opportunities to stop La Verde’s attack, but they failed in the attempt.
