The 39-year-old Peruvian striker entered 41 minutes into the match in the 2-2 tie and showed off some good moves and was even able to have his dream debut. On the last play of the game, he brought the ball down with his hand and converted from his left foot. Of course, they annulled the goal.
“I’m happy to have made my debut and play in the Cylinder,” said the Peruvian star, and considered: “It’s nice to be here in the Cylinder with this incredible fan base, it’s a pity that we didn’t get the result we wanted, which was win. It was a tough game, but we have to keep working. It’s the third round so there’s a long way to go”.
Regarding the play of the disallowed goal, he admitted: “The ball came fast, sometimes it stings you badly and unfortunately it hit your hand.” And about his physical condition he concluded: “I am getting well. I think the evolution has been very fast, I feel very good and getting better. Obviously I need to prepare myself better physically but I think that this week I will be able to achieve it”.
