Nunez First Town Player to Win Chile Cap - Ipswich Town News
Marcelino Nunez became the first Town player to win a cap for Chile as his side came from behind to beat Peru 2-1 in a friendly in Santiago overnight.
Nunez, who was winning his 32nd full cap, came off the bench in the 67th minute with the score 1-1, Derby County’s Ben Brereton Diaz having netted for the home side four minutes earlier, Cesar Inga of Club Universitario de Deportes having given the visitors the lead on 40.
The Chileans bagged the winning goal through Huachipato defender’s Maximiliano Gutierrez’s deflected shot four minutes into injury time.
The match is Chile’s only fixture during this international break and Nunez should be back with the Blues squad early in the week.
