Igrali bez rezervnih igrača, branio im veznjak i izvojevali su epsku pobjedu

Argentinski tim River Plate pobijedio je rezultatom 2:1 kolumbijsku ekipu Santa Fe u Copa Libertadoresu, a pobjeda je izvojevana u trenutku kada je 20 fudbalera River Plate odsustvovalo zbog zaraze koronavirusom, javlja Anadolu Agency (AA).

River Plate je na teren istrčao sa ukupno 11 fudbalera i bez rezervnih igrača. Ulogu golmana preuzeo je vezni igrač Enzo Perez.

Južnoamerička kuća fudbala CONMEBOL je ranije odbila zahtjev rukovodstva River Plate da za meč registrira dva rezervna golmana iz mlađi selekcija.

History in the making. A COVID-19 outbreak ruled out 20 of River Plate’s players for their Copa Libertadores match against Santa Fe, including all goalies. They were told to play anyway with no subs and midfielder Enzo Perez in goal. They won 2-1. Quality and guts. ??? pic.twitter.com/BmVKpH327J

Čini se da je takva odluka bila dobar motiv igračima River Plate pa su za svega šest minuta na Monumental stadionu u Buenos Airesu poveli sa 2:0, a strijelci su bili Fabrizio Angileri i Julian Alvarez.
