The Argentinian Damian Diaz is an emblem of Barcelona of Guayaquil, where he arrived eleven years ago beyond a break in the middle. Well into the hearts of the fans of the yellow team, this Thursday he gave them a pearl that was billiards in the 4-2 win of your team regarding Wanderers of Uruguay, in the first match of both for Group A of the South American Cupthe same one that integrates Lanus and Metropolitan of Venezuela.
The match was always under the control of the locals who soon took the lead with a brace from the Uruguayan Gonzalo Mastriani at 9 and 11 minutes. Immediately, at 14 minutes, the charrúas discounted through the Argentine Hernan Rivero. But following 35 minutes, the local Michael Carcelen widened the differences. With this partial result the first half ended.
In the complement, Barcelona sought to widen the differences and it was at 54 minutes that they found the key to settle the match with the jewel of Kitu Díaz. In a corner shot from the right, the midfielder saw the goalkeeper who came out of the small area to give some instructions and, following taking two steps back, he finished off with the classic three fingers with his right foot, in the best style of Chelo Delgado. It was an Olympic goal, with the added value that the ball went in low.
Díaz, who is also charismatic, raised his arms as if greeting the people and with the gesture that he had to leave the field because of the goal he had scored. He was right because the effect that the ball took was special and he ended up scoring the fourth goal for the Ecuadorian team.
When Díaz’s goal was uploaded to the networks, it was all the rage and became viral. Seeing the boom that was generated, a fan uploaded his recording of the goal, from the stand that is close to where Damián executed, that when he arrived to kick first he received applause from the public and from that angle it was possible to better appreciate how he hit. “What a great goal!”, Shouted more than one and another more excited shot: “He’s crazy!”.
Then the Uruguayans got another discount through Mauro Méndez (61 minutes), but the lawsuit had already been settled. It was the last goal of the match and that only served for statistics. The highlight of the game was undoubtedly Diaz’s goal.
The midfielder who emerged from Rosario Central and who in Argentina played for Boca Juniors and was part of the team that was champion of the 2008 Opening Tournament (played 7 games), also played for Colón. Since his arrival in the Ecuadorian cast, he has accustomed the Barcelona public to his punches and high-end goals. He became an idol of the Guayaquil team, with which he won three titles. In between, he spent two years at Al-Wahda in the United Arab Emirates.
