Luis Iberico was reunited with the goal after several months. In the quarter-finals of the Latvian Cup, the 25-year-old striker scored for the first time with the Riga FC to seal the 4-0 win over Auda. The goal from ‘Luiki’, who came on as a substitute in the 60th minute of the game, reached the 85th minute when he went hand in hand with the opposing goalkeeper after a great pass from Mor Gaye. The Peruvian was knocked out with his right foot, firing hard to the goalkeeper’s nearest post and celebrating his club’s pass into the semi-finals.
Since leaving FBC Melgar, Iberico has only played four games for Riga, none of them as a regular. Despite the goal, his lack of continuity is a factor against him in the next call-up for the Peru team this Friday, August 25, before the start of the qualifiers.
