A debut that fulfilled expectations and filled us with hope while watching the difficult moments in our country, but meanwhile today at the 2002 World Cup Stadium in Daejeon Venezuela won 2-0 to Germany in the debut of both in the U20 World Cup FIFA and being the first match of the tournament.
A beautiful Saturday afternoon with a warm and beautiful spring sun of May bathed the world-wide field to see a great duel, of one side our boys who leave like favorites after having a great South American disputed in Ecuador in January last being in the 3 rd place, while That Germany who finished 2nd in the European Youth Championship also has a good squad, some debuted in the German Bundesliga.
In a first time where there was an even game Venezuelans and Germans showed a competitive game, abrupt, wild but very even, Venezuela had clear chances to mark the same Germany but the first time went nil-nil.
It was in the second half when things went out for us. At 51 minutes Angelo Peña regains a lost ball and from there begins a race towards the opponent's bow beating 2 players and marking the first goal of the World Cup, being the first Venezuelan in the history of the competition to get it, Peña to see the Solitary ball flew like a jet and scored the first goal of match.
2 minutes later Sergio Cordova at the edge of the grass and after a great professional assistance of Adalberto Peñaranda leaving scattered to 3 Germans and giving it to Cordova to score another masterful goal for a wonderful victory of 2-0.
As a curious and historical fact, this is the second time that Venezuela wins in its debut in a sub20 world, in 2008 Venezuela won in its debut against Nigeria 1-0 in Egypt with goal of Yonathan of the Valley near the rest, another data but is That in both parties the Venezuelan goal was in-beat. In 2009 was Rafa Romo who made the lock now on this occasion was for goalkeeper Caracas FC Wuilker Fariñez.
The next match of the "vinotinto"(red wine team) will be this Tuesday in Daejeon at 04:00 Pm (Korean time) 03:00 am Venezuelan time against Vanuatu who fell 2-3 against México, we started well but still have a long way to go.
