The under-23 team Paraguay lost this Sunday in Caracas 2-0 match Venezuelawon the South American Championship of the category and, coincidentally, enrolled in Argentina in Olympic Games from Paris. After a balanced and goalless first half, Vinotinto’s Olympic dream began to fade when Colombian referee Jhon Ospina awarded a penalty to Albirroja.
Diego Gómez, Lionel Messi’s teammate at Inter Miami, converted the penalty for a goal in the 48th minute at the Brígido Iriarte stadium in Caracas. In this way, the midfielder scored his fifth goal in the 2024 Olympic Qualifiers.
The second red-hot came in the 75th minute, when Marcelo Pérez, from the Argentine Huracán, took advantage of a mistake by the Venezuelan defense and sent the ball towards a goal that was left alone, under the resigned Samuel Rodríguez thought. Paraguay ended the last home run in front with seven points from a possible nine. Argentina, who a few hours earlier defeated Brazil by winning 0-1, accumulated 5 points.
