Peru vs Chile. The Peruvian team is contesting a new double date in advance World Cup 2026. On this occasion, the troops led by Juan Reynoso must visit the neighboring country to the south in search of the three points. Ahead of the clash against the Chileans, the country’s media gracefully remembered a player who made world news because of his resemblance to Arturo Vidal.
Is about Royer Vasquez, who became famous for the midfielder’s haircut. This footballer, strangely enough, said that he made his debut with Reynoso at Sporting Cristal, and although today he shines in the amateur category, Vásquez remembers that his resemblance earned him some job offers in Chile and even invitations to comedy shows.
