Argentina U23 team win 2-0 vs. Chile in Olympic qualifiers, Capaldo, Perez goal scorers

Nicolas Capaldo and Nehuen Perez scored for the Argentina U23 team in their 2-0 win vs. Chile.

Fernando Batista’s team made it two wins out of two to top their group in the Olympic qualifiers. Capaldo opened the scoring for Argentina early in the game with a lovely effort from just inside the penalty area. His right footed shot was fired into the top corner of the goal.

In the second half it was captain Nehuez Perez who doubled Argentina’s lead. A free kick sent into the area found Adolfo Gaich as the big man headed it towards Perez to score.

Tottenham coach Jose Mourinho had positive things to say about midfielder Giovani Lo Celso following the team’s 2-1 win vs. Norwich.

Lo Celso moved to London from Real Betis during the summer and now playing under Jose Mourinho, the Rosario native looks to have finally found a spot in the team. When asked about Lo Celso’s performance vs. Norwhich, here’s what Mourinho had to say:

“Giovani is improving game-after-game. Today he was fantastic in everything. I think he is adapting very well to the league, he can play in various positions, he gives us lots of quality, vision, passing, he is improving his offensive game, he is improving his intensity.

“The only thing that worries me is the new life of English football of playing and playing and playing and in this case he is now playing all the time now because we don’t have different solutions. Even today when Lamela was out, no wingers so Giovani to the wing. It’s hard but I think it’s good experience for all of us, a good experience for the family.”
