New York City, the club where the Peruvian Alexander Callens plays, beat the Philadelphia Union 2-1 this Sunday, decimated by numerous casualties due to the coronavirus, and qualified for its first Major League Soccer (MLS) final.
The Union, which had 11 absences including its main figures, took the lead in the 63rd minute with an own goal they committed Callens, who tried to end an attack by the local team.
But New York City ruined the feat and the celebration at Subaru Park with goals from the Argentine Maxi Moralez in 65 and the Brazilian Talles Magno in 88.
The New York team, which could not count on its Argentine figure Valentín Castellanos due to suspension, will face the Portland Timbers in the MLS final on December 11.
Callens’ team rival
Venezuelan coach Giovanni Savarese’s Portland Timbers beat Real Salt Lake 2-0 on Saturday with scores from Chilean Felipe Mora and Colombian Santiago Moreno.
In this way, the Savarese men took the title of the Western Conference and qualified for the Grand Final. The Peruvian also plays in this team Andy Polo who is injured, but through his social networks he celebrated the classification of the Timbers.
