Bernardo Cuesta became the historic scorer of a Peruvian club in the Copa Sudamericana

One of the biggest expectations that this match caused was whether Bernardo Cuesta could beat Germán Carty and Marcio Valverde as the record top scorer of a Peruvian club in the Copa Sudamericana and this Tuesday it could be broken. The Argentine scored the only goal for Melgar's 1-0 victory over Cienciano and made history with the 'rojinegro' draw.

Of those who were on the roster, the striker was the only one playing this international tournament in 2022 and it was a great opportunity. With the goal scored at the UNSA stadium in Arequipa against his hiinchas, the scorer reached nine goals in this championship Conmebol and became the best. In addition, he will now have the group stage to extend his mark and leave everyone far behind.

In the list of nine footballers there is also Johan Fano, who has already retired from football. Raúl Rudiaz, who has a career made in the MLS and will hardly play the Copa Sudamericana again. In addition to Christofer Gonzales, who scored four goals.

1. Barnardo Cuesta, 9 goals

2. Germán Carty, 8 goals

3. Marcio Valverde, 8 goals

4. Johan Fano, 6 goals

5. Raul Ruidiaz, 5 goals

6. German Alemanno, 4 goals

7. Ronald Quinteros, 4 goals

8. Andy Pando, 4 goals

9. Christofer Gonzales, 4 goals
