Jean Pierre Archimbaud scored the 2-1 at the Centenario.
Jean Pierre Archimbaud appeared to give Melgar the victory in Montevideo. Two minutes before, River Plate of Uruguay had found equality, but the ‘rojinegros’ with one man less went in search of the three points and achieved it. In this way they remain at the top of group B of the Copa Sudamericana 2022.
Joaquín Lavega had scored the equalizer after 93 minutes. However, the drive of the ‘Lion of the South’ led him to win the match. At 95 ′, Jhonny Vidales beat the ‘charrúas’ backs and this forced the departure of goalkeeper Salvador Ichazo. The winger leaned back with Jean Pierre Archimbaud, who controlled it and finished off with a left foot to send it to save.
The ‘chocherita’ took off his shirt, shouted it with great euphoria and hugged his teammates. The midfielder scored his second goal with the ‘Domino’. Previously, he gave them a 1-0 victory against Alianza Lima at the UNSA Monumental stadium.
With this result, Melgar would remain in first place in group B due to goal difference. The ‘Domino’ is equal in points with Racing de Argentina, who is beating Cuiabá 2-1 as a visitor. For its part, River Plate of Uruguay will remain in last place in the table.
The last time the Arequipeños had won away from home was in 2021. On that occasion, they beat Metropolitanos FC 3-2 in Venezuela with goals from Bernardo Cuesta, Luis Iberico and Jhonny Vidales.
