selected by many fans as the
championship’s best player.
Some 4,000 spectators -
mostly from Chile and in a lesser
number from Peru- lent their
heated enthusiasm to the derby.
CHILE, REDDER THAN EVER
The Reds won their perfect
number of points, exhibiting
excellent performances, which
are most meritorious from the
football and also mental
viewpoints, since they won two
matches with only 9 men in the
roster. Although this is most
meritorious, on the other hand it
was not so, because they
received 7 red cards during the
tournament and their coach was
three times sent off because he
loudly argued against what was
happening.
Chile played a very good

offensive football and they had a
good handling of the ball. They
made a gesture in the first phase,
but they declined in the second,

that used to have the lowest
places in the matter of juvenile
competitions, charmed the
spectators with a team that
offered good football, with
several promissory individualities,
a permanent style of attack,
mobility and above all a great
fighting spirit. They did not
qualify to the World Cup because
football has some unaccountable
rough tracks, though they really
deserved to win it.
Their group was the winner,
after eliminating Brazil with an
excellent performance and they
also had some most meritorious
presentations like those against
the champion Colombia, which
they overpowered and scored
goals against. It was a pity that
they collided with the posts and
also against a remarkable
goalkeeper like Bolilla that saved
at least 5 balls that were meant
