Mikel and Juanpi, key factors in Venezuela line-up

The reserve team player scored his first goal with the ‘vinotinto’ first team, following a pass from Juanpi, in the 2-2 draw against Peru.

Venezuela drew 2-2 last night against Peru in the 2018 Russia World Cup qualifier.  First team midfielder, Juanpi, and reserve team player, Mikel Villanueva, formed part of the ‘vinotinto’ starting-11, and were decisive factors in the draw.  In minute 56 of play, Juanpi launched a corner kick to the far post that was converted by Mikel with a fantastic volley.

Venezuela are in action again on Tuesday 29th March against Chile.
