Arequipa. The route from FBC Melgar The 5-0 win over Patronato broke multiple records for the red-black team and national football. And while it brought joy to Dominó’s fans, after their elimination from the Copa Libertadores de América, qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana still doesn’t bring them the consolation prize.
As for the internal marks that the red and black box is broken, it is Victory against Board of Trustees It was his biggest win in international tournaments. At the level of Peruvian football, it is the most comfortable victory for a national team against an Argentine team. Domino’s victory also set a new record for his all-time goalscorer Bernardo Cuesta, who’s two goals against Argentina’s Primera B side took his goals scored in the red-and-black jersey to 165. Likewise the Conmebol Libertadoresstressed that Melgar scored three goals in 22 minutes of play.

What is missing
But goals set aside, defeat could mean little if they fail to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana. You should still wait for the results of the last appointment. Now Melgar sits third in Group H (South America qualifying position) with 4 points while Patronato is third with 3 points. Melgar must retain his seat at the next appointment to qualify. On the last date these teams play away: Melgar against Olimpia in Paraguay and Pa-
Throne against Atlético Nacional in Colombia. Complicated duels for both clubs.
Different results allow the South Lion to qualify for the South American. The win will confirm his pass to the South American. A draw between Melgar and Patronato will also benefit Mariano Soso’s side, even if they both lose. If Melgar loses and Patronato draws, Domino will still be lucky as long as they maintain their goal difference. But if Melgar just draws or loses and Patronato wins, he’ll bid the South American’s option goodbye.
On this subject, Horacio Orzán pointed out that the Rojinegros have a good chance of qualifying. He said beating the Patronato was key as those goals could see them qualify for the South Americans. Orzán advised captain Bernardo Cuesta that before thinking about how to play with the Olympia, one should focus on the game taking place this weekend as part of the Apertura tournament. The final date of Group H is June 27th. Before that, Melgar has one more game to play for the Apertura, this Saturday against Binacional at the Monumental Arequipa (6:00 p.m.).
