Guatemala, sporting a full squad was trashed by Cienciano of Cuzco 3-0 in LA. Not sure if Guatemala had their day off, but surely it makes our Canadian side look bad.

Cienciano defeats Guatemala 3-0 in Los Angeles

By Hugo Castillo, Libero Reporter

The Red Fury came by Los Angeles and they made it certain that they are one of the top teams in the Americas. The Cienciano squad, recent Champion of the Copa Sudamericana and Recopa Sudamericana, left their mark on Guatemala 3-0, in an exhibition game played in Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, with a Pro-Guatemalan and Hispanic contingent. In the 1st minutes, the game was even, with Guatemala trying to dominate the actions in the game. However, halfway through the 1st half, Cienciano began to show their cohesion and the result was a goal by Cesar Balbin in the 45th minute and German Carty in extra stoppage of the 1st half. The Guatemalan Goalkeeper couldn’t do anything against the goals scored on his net.

In the 2nd half, Cienciano waited patiently, while Guatemala tried to ascert itself. However, without much luck, the Central American side, couldn’t get a shot past the Goal Area of Oscar Ibanez, who excelled in excellent form and made outstanding saves. Almost close to the end of the game, a quick counter-attack from Rodrigo Saraz made the score a 3-0 Final for the Peruvian squad.

Thanks for sharing the article Bro.

But I have to disagree with you about how bad it makes your Nats look.

Like one of my peruvian friends told me years ago:

Club teams play together all of the time (Especially in Peru between the two seasons that they play yearly). Sometimes chemistry, knowing where your comrades are going to be can be even more powerful than putting together a countries best players who don't play together too often. Cienciano has great chemistry. They were an afterthought in Peru a few years ago. Now they beat Argentine and Brazilian clubs in huge tournaments. Especially in the case of Canada, with players scattered accross Europe, a team that rarely gets together, a club like Cienciano would be a formidable challenge.

I disagree too Peru has alot of soccer history! and even though they havent qualified to the WC since 82 there is a lot of skilled players in that country....been my self from Peru i know about it! I follow the first division and even though its far from been one of the best leagues n south america its very entertaining! just hope that Peru qualifies to the WC again so they can get the respect again!

I don't think this loss makes Canada look bad at all. In fact it would have been an upset had Guatemala won, since Cienciano is one of the Top clubs in South America. I always thought canada should organize some friendlies against Peru, since they both have trouble getting opponents and proper preparation. Anyways, which is your team Dante? Alianza or U?

Not quite the A team against the Peru club:

Guatemala : Klee; G. Cabrera, Sanabria, E. Cabrera, Morales; Ramírez, Pereira, Thompson, Castillo; Zacarías y Estrada.

Subs:

Trigueño x Klee,

V. Hernández x Morales,

Pezzarossi x Ramírez,

Dávila x Pereira,

Navas x Zacarías

vs. Honduras (1-0 Guat win) on October 13:

3. MELGAR Pablo

6. CABRERA Gustavo

7. THOMPSON Fredy

8. ROMERO Gonzalo

11. RAMIREZ Guillermo

13. MARTINEZ Nestor

17. PEZZAROSSI Dwight

20. RUIZ Carlos (off 82')

19. RODRIGUEZ Mario (off 90')

30. KLEE Miguel

Substitutions

31. DAVILA Maynor

34. CASTILLO Carlos

Something less than the A team in LA. They obviously used the match for trying out some B players (imagine using a friendly for experimentation!), and in fact the Guatemalan forums showed displeasure with the player selection.

Also, Guatemala has called up a full A squad for the friendly against Mexico in San Antonio (Novemebr 11)next week. Before they they play Canada on the 17th, they have another friendly in Washington DC against Colombia on Novemebr 13! Considering also that they had 7 friendlies between the June and August WCQ's (including a two week camp in California) you have to give them credit for taking preparation seriously. They definitely deserve to be in the hex, and probably Germany.

thanks for actually doing some research before saying something......trash is such a dirty word.....I think it would be trashy of me to describe the first win here in canada with the word "trash"....but oh well...we all love our country!

it was a great practice and it was for a good cause for our peruvian brothers.
