The unusual thing happened in the Libertadores Cup. An hour after having decreed a curfew and the consequent cancellation of the match between Sporting Cristal and Flamengo, the Peruvian government backtracked.
The Lima executive removed the restrictions and authorized the game to take place. Thus, Paulo Sousa’s debut in Libertadores will even take place in the early hours of this Wednesday.
It is recalled that the capital Lima has been the target of several violent protests due to the increase in fuel and fertilizer prices, which even meant failures in the supply of food. In response to the highest inflation in the last 24 years, the Peruvian executive increased his salary by 10 percent, but that did not stop the strikes that led to the declaration of a State of Emergency this Tuesday.
