PERSISTENCE IS POWER, as I’m sure somebody important once said. And if you don’t believe in that then have a gander at the below highlights from a Peruvian Primera Division match yesterday.
The game was just four minutes and 33 seconds old when hosts Real Garcilaso had their woodwork rattled three times.
First, a placed shot. Second, a Paul Rideout-style header. Third, the little-utilised shoulder-charge shot.
Eventually, Sport Huancayo took the lead with a brilliant bicycle kick as their fourth shot in five seconds.
Take a bow, Kleyr Vieira dos Santos (for not getting too down-hearted after missing the initial header).
