The Sporting Cristal right-back scored the fourth goal for the Sky Blues. His result meant qualifying for Phase 3 of the 2023 Copa Libertadores.
Sporting Cristal beat Nacional de Paraguay 5-1 Libertadores Cup 2022 and several footballers stood out in this great game. One of them was winger Jhilmar Lora, who scored a great goal from outside the box. The Peru national team scored the fourth goal after hitting it with the instep of his right foot and hanging the Guarani team’s goalkeeper.
After his goal, a debate broke out as to whether Lora wanted to cross or shoot straight into the goal. After various speculations, the defender revealed the intention of his shot. “I wanted to shoot one on goal. Believe the psychologist who told me to dare. It stayed with me, I didn’t see anyone around and preferred to shadow it. I thought it wasn’t going to go in, but it did go in,” he told ESPN. VIDEO: America Sport
