Joao Grimaldo was the big figure in the draw that saved Sporting Cristal against Melgar for League One. Although the 20-year-old winger stood out with a superb goal at the Monumental de la UNSA, he used the moment to decide a controversial episode he starred in midweek. As we recall, before the Rimenses were eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana, the speedy attacker had a tense exchange with striker Brenner Marlos.
After the game ended in Arequipa, the Brazilian shooter uploaded a photo with his partner and left a “little message” for his critics. “And they said we would fight,” was the message he shared. This publication did not go unnoticed and Grimaldo himself shared it with a short phrase: “Forward, brother.”
