A Chilean goal, which is worth a historic qualification to a World Cup and, on top of that, deposited it for the first time in the Copa América final.
The dream of
Emiliano Holmedilla
from Buenos Aires came true this Saturday, when he converted the first goal of the 2-0 victory suffered by the
Argentine beach soccer team
against Colombia, which earned him a ticket to the 2023 Dubai World Cup and the definition match by the title against Brazil, this Sunday in Rosario.
The Racing pivot, in the third and last half of the semifinal, controlled with his chest, rose from behind and took a tremendous shot from a Chilean kick that beat the Colombian goalkeeper to make it 1-0, after four minutes, and when Nerves began to accumulate in the stands of the fairgrounds in the city of Santa Fe.
With a great job from goalkeeper Santiago Gómez Polatti, the Albiceleste sealed the story thanks to their captain Lucas Ponzetti, who pushed an assist from Benaducci, when nine of the 12 minutes of the last period were played.
The victory allowed those led by Hernán Magrini to qualify for their tenth World Cup, after having lost the last three in a row.
The appointment will be from November 16 to 26 in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates and will also have Brazil, the five-time champion of that contest (top winner), and Argentina's rival in the final this Sunday (4:00 p.m., televised by Deportv and DSports).
