The suffering and agony in the stands lasted three minutes. The time it took Donato to bring peace of mind. The Brazilian heads a corner thrown by Vctor. Fate wanted it to be in the goal where Gonzlez truncated Deportivo’s dream six years earlier. Roy Makaaywho amazed the Corovan fans throughout the season, scored the final 2-0 before the break.
With the final whistle, joy flooded the blue and white fiefdom. And the party moved to a crowded Plaza de Cuatro Caminos. A bounty dressed in the form of a Garter. A gift for the fans, the city, the players and for those who one day formed the Superdpor.
May 19, 2000 has been marked in the history of Deportivo. The League of 69 points. The League of Lambrettafrom Djalminha. The League that cured the memories of the past.
