Darwin Nunez was unable to travel during the previous international break, but since returning to play, he has kept up his impressive performance for his country.  When Ecuador came up, our No. 9 displayed his talent in the box by squirming past Felix Torres with some deft footwork.

Our No. 9 had a chance as a result, but he was unable to find the back of Hernan Galindez’s net—a skill that his teammates also lacked during the scoreless tie.

Against Ecuador, Darwin Nunez was unable to score.

The 25-year-old wouldn’t have anticipated being able to play in this week’s games, but he’s back on the field as a result of his appeal against the ban that was imposed on him after the altercations during the Copa America.

Our man is obviously in some form after his strong debut performance against Peru. Hopefully, this will be enough to win over Arne Slot and get him additional playing time.

The former Benfica player wasn’t the first one to accomplish this accomplishment, though—we are all aware of the exhaustion that frequently accompanies playing in South America.

This week, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, and Alexis Mac Allister performed in South America.

Luis Diaz played and scored in Colombia’s 4-0 victory over Chile, and Alexis Mac Allister joined Argentina for nearly an hour during their 6-0 victory over Bolivia.

Our head coach presumably was not happy to see his No. 10 playing so much after he had practiced alone earlier in the week and was then expected to play a major role in a decisive win.

Most likely, the Dutchman will have to make a last-minute decision on whether or not to declare all of his players, who have been around the world, fit.
