Vargas Leads Charge For Peru

Fiorentina’s Juan Var­gas was the hero for the Peru­vian national team as he set up Johan Fano’s equal­izer in the last touch of the game on Tues­day against Argentina.   Var­gas wreaked havoc all over the left side of the pitch against a poor Argen­tine side and would put the fate of his team on his shoul­ders on that inspired run to the edge of the box.

The Ital­ian press hailed Var­gas’ per­for­mance as “splen­did”  and coura­geous as he bat­tled all evening long with the Argen­tine defense.  Mean­while the Peru­vian con­sid­ered this point valu­able as they are gain­ing the con­fi­dence to play on despite the losses of very impor­tant play­ers due to suspension.

The Peru­vian media in the mean­time was over­board in their hap­pi­ness, call­ing José Del Solar’s play­ers “real men”  and that these are the play­ers “that makes us proud to be Peruvians”.

“This was for all of Peru,”  said Var­gas imme­di­ately after the match.
