The 24-year-old midfielder, who had entered just a minute earlier to replace Edinson Chávez, took a free kick at the near post, and the left back, who had entered the area stealthily, anticipated Juan Manuel Tévez, who was covering that area, He turned and hit the ball with his heel, which went into the corner, surprising everyone and leaving goalkeeper Andy Vidal standing.
The 24-year-old footballer’s celebration was quite emotional, he ran to the side of the field and crouched down with his hands on his face, while all his teammates came to hug him. Then, when he was able to get up, with his eyes closed, a smile and his face visibly moved, he pointed to the sky with one arm and hit his shield with the other. It should be noted that this was his first goal in a ‘pink’ shirt.
Cristian Carbajal’s emotion after his first goal with Sport Boys (League 1).
Cristian Carbajal’s goal was the cherry on top of Sport Boys’ 3-0 win over Cusco FC, an important victory for the ‘missilera’, which was coming at a bad time, since in the first four rounds it accumulated three defeats and only a victory, results that placed them in the last places, making their fans begin to worry about a new season fighting for permanence.

However, those led by Fernando Gamboa showed that they are up for more important things and played their best game so far this year, being superior from start to finish and showing forcefulness in the rival goal.
The ‘chalacos’ took the lead just after 5 minutes through Pablo Bueno, who converted from twelve steps after a foul by Rubén Ramírez on Brandon Palacios inside the area. The Argentine forward scored his third goal of the campaign, consolidating himself as the new scorer of the Callao team and making it clear that it will be very difficult for Fabrizio Roca to take his place. But there would be more, and at 42 minutes, at the end of the first half, a good cross from Renzo Salazar found the son of ‘Chorri’, who beat José Zevallos in the race and scored with his left foot at the far post.
