Penarol coach Diego Aguirre has another chance to secure a place in history when Penarol faces Santos in the Copa Libertadores final on Wednesday.
Aguirre scored an incredible match winner when Penarol won its last Copa Libertadores title 24 years ago, finding the net in the last minute of extra time, when America de Cali fans had already started celebrating the draw. It was the third game of the finals and the draw would have given the title to the Colombian club, but Aguirre got past two America de Cali defenders and fired in a low, left-foot shot.
“I remember it very well,” Aguirre said ahead of Penarol’s last practice before Wednesday’s match at Pacaembu stadium. “A goal in the last minute of extra time to give us the title in the decisive match—it was incredible.”
Now in the coach’s seat, the 45-year-old Aguirre has a chance to guide Penarol to another title, restoring the Uruguayan club as a powerhouse in South America football. He’s hopeful history will somehow repeat itself on Wednesday.
