Paraguay has woken up with a smile after the resounding victory yesterday by 3 to 1 against a World Cup-level Ecuador. The great game of the team led by Schelotto leaves slight hope for the future for a project that wants to compete again in the most important of the national team football events.
But not everything has been joy for Albirroja. There was some concern since yesterday about Robert Morales, what he had to be substituted yesterday before the quarter of an hour of play, yes, with a goal in his private account. The definition in the goal of the number 9 shirt was fantastic, although now we know that It was not the most surprising thing about that play.
The medical reports have specified that after the tests carried out, Morales, at the time of scoring the goal that opened the scoring, suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament on his right leg. It’s almost unbelievable to think that a person was capable of go the distance to the ball and hit with the injured leg having a problem of the scope that this injury supposes, something that shows without a doubt that Morales is a true gladiator.

A casualty that gives hope to Peru
Although an injury can never be a reason for joy for anyone, the truth is that this setback, which obviously leaves Morales out of the next appointment in Paraguay, is great news for the aspirations of its rival, Peru.
Those of Ricardo Gareca will be played at home against Albirroja, the much-dreamed-of pass to the playoffs that allows them to take your ticket to Qatar. This Tuesday will take place the meeting that is undoubtedly the most important in recent years for the entire country Peru.
A long list of absences
The match against Ecuador, It has meant the loss for the next game of many of the players of Schelotto. Almiron, Villasanti, Riveros and Gomez, they join Morales on the list of absentees from this meeting. Most of them complete the sanction cycle, except for Riveros, who was expelled last night for a double yellow.
All these low they presuppose an eleven of circumstances of the Albirroja in Peru, which makes Gareca’s team believe that I would need to winor in case of not doing it, it would be at the expense of the result that Colombia achieves on the last date of the South American Qualifiers.
