A gate call sounded Albania! The Peruvian striker Carlos Nazayro Rivas scored his first goal with FK Kukesi of the Albanian Super League. The former Peru Cup footballer took advantage of a big mistake by the opposition defense to get on the scoreboard.
Carlos Nazayro and his first goal in Albania
A number of new signings of Peruvian players for Albanian football were announced in the middle of this year. Among them, the name Carlos Nazayro Rivas caught attention since his only experience was in the Peru Cup with Star Áncash.
Months later, his name went viral when he scored his first goal in the Albanian Super League. In a game valid for the 18th matchday, our compatriot started as a starter and scored a goal at the beginning of the game.
Despite their goal, FK Kukesi could not celebrate as KF Laci equalized after 80 minutes. In this way, the 23-year-old striker's team scored 19 points and remained in 8th place in the league.
Which Peruvian players made it to the Albanian Super League?
Carlos Nazayro did not come to Albania alone, as FK Kukesi also hired Peruvian striker Sebastián La Torre, who had experience in both the first and second divisions of our country. In addition, Joao Neyra – son of the famous Donny Neyra -, Josep Farfán and Junior Castrillón signed with KF Delvina, a club that plays in the third division of this country.
The list does not end here as Henrique Raez, whose mother is Brazilian and father Peruvian, landed in the KF Gramshi in the same category. Finally, Álvaro Gutiérrez, who played for Sport Chavelines of Liga 2 in 2022, signed with KS Devolli.
