Con Claudio “Devil” Echeverri as a star figure, the Argentine National Team Sub-17 thrashed tonight by 3 and 0 and Peru, in the South American tournament of the category that takes place in Ecuador. With this new victory, the team of Diego Placente He remained undefeated in three appearances and leads Group B, a score that allowed him to secure a place in the final hexagonal one date before the closing of the initial phase. The tournament qualifies for the World Cup without a venue yet, because it was going to be held between November and December in Peru, but that country gave up organizing it due to political instability and FIFA is looking for an alternative venue.
Argentina dominated Peru from the beginning and Echeverri with a double, at 16 and 36 minutes, became the most outstanding figure of the match. Agustín Ruberto, at minute 21, all in the initial stage, converted the other goal that sealed the triumph of the national team, which after a couple of initial attacks that were close to opening the scoring, found an effective definition of the youth team from River to open the match.
Indeed, Echeverri received the ball near the area, faced it and ended up chipping it over goalkeeper Juan Pedro Durán. Barely 5 minutes later, the Argentine team stretched the advantage: after a cross from the left, Ruberto connected and scored the 2-0 score for the Argentine team, which with that goal was on its way to victory and already enjoyed qualifying for the next instance.
And the “Diablito” Echeverri would appear again at 37, to settle the story already in the stage, after a great collective play that had a great assist from Ian Subiabre and a definition next to a post from the River striker. With that 3-0 score already declared, Peru lowered its arms and the match became a formality for the Placente team, which let the minutes go by with the satisfaction of having fulfilled their duty.
Even in the second half there was a very clear goal play at the feet of Santiago López, which could have even given the score even more compelling figures. Argentina then continues at a steady pace and managed to advance to the next instance with a date in advance and a perfect score (three wins in the same number of appearances). On the next -and last- date, it will be measured this Saturday from 9:00 p.m. against Paraguay, which this Thursday defeated Bolivia 3-1 and is the escort with 7 units.
