With another goal from Nicolás González, the Argentine team is consolidated in the South American classification (Kicker)

 

With another goal from Nicolás González, Stuttgart forward, his second in a row after scoring another against Paraguay, and another from Lautaro Martínez, both in the first half, the Argentine team clearly beat Peru’s 0-2 in Lima and will finish the year in a comfortable second place in the South American qualifying table for the Qatar World Cup when four dates were played out of 18 possible, and the fifth will only return in March 2021.

The Argentine team had many possibilities to increase the distance but wasted many opportunities against a Peruvian team that with a meager harvest of one point out of 9 possible, went out to attack blindly leaving many spaces, well used by Lionel Messi and Giovani Lo Celso, both game owners.

The coach of the Argentine team, Lionel Scaloni, once again trusted Nicolás González as a starter, although this time as a left winger, when he started as a lateral defender against Paraguay, and the Stuttgart forward returned to respond with a very good game, to end up being one of the most pleasant surprises in recent months and hescored a goal with a cross shot that left goalkeeper Pedro Gallese without a chance.

“We are a hard team and I think we give that feeling, and when you have to put on the overalls, this team puts it on. We won fairly on a difficult court and the game was all ours, from start to finish”, concluded a satisfied Scaloni.
