The former Catholic university converted in the 2-1 victory of the Red Devils over Puebla, for the 12th date of the Mexican Clausura. He joins Diego Valdés, the other Chilean who scored a goal this weekend in Liga MX.
Valber Huerta disguised as a goalscorer. The national defender scored for the first time in Mexican football. It was this Sunday, in the 2-1 victory of Toluca over Puebla, in a duel corresponding to the date 12 of the Liga MX Clausura.
It was a Chilean duel. On the side of Los Diablos Rojos, Huerta and Claudio Baeza started and played the 90 minutes. On the sidewalk of the fringes, whose coach is the famous Nicolás Larcamón (former DT of Antofagasta and Curicó Unido) Midfielder Pablo Parra was the starter, replaced in the 54th minute.
Toluca opened the account in the 18th minute, with a goal from Kevin Castañeda. After the first half it was 2-0 thanks to the former Universidad Católica centre-back. The southpaw unleashes a powerful shot, which contains Paraguayan goalkeeper Antony Silva, but Huerta grabs the rebound and converts the second for his cast. The last goal of the U-20 World Cup dates back to August 15, 2021, in UC’s 2-1 loss to Huachipato, on a rainy night in Talcahuano, when the Crusaders coach was Gustavo Poyet.
It wasn’t the only Chilean goal in Mexico this weekend. On Saturday night, Diego Valdés gave America all three points, agonizingly converting Necaxa. Puebla found the discount in added time of the first half, thanks to Israel Reyes.
Today was Valber Huerta’s fifth match in the Premier League tournament, his third as a starter. Gradually, the former Huachipato earns a place in this opportunity to play abroad, after the frustrated move to Palmeiras.
With this Sunday’s victory, the red cast are seventh in the Aztec tournament, with 16 points after 11 games played. (five wins, one draw and five losses). The pointer is Pachuca, with 25 units.
