YOU CAN SEE Néstor Lorenzo proud of Melgar’s classification: “Justice was done”
Is about Cristian Bordacahar, the 30-year-old Argentine striker who came to Melgar from Ferro Carril Oeste, a club in the Argentine Second Division. However, a few years ago his career was not going through the best of times and that lo led to dispute the Third Division. Here we tell you everything.
Cristian Bordacahar made his professional debut with Tigre in the Argentine League, but the following year he was loaned to Club Atlético Brown in the second category. In 2013 he returns to the club where he debuted but failed to shine, so in 2014 he was sold to Chacarita Junior of the First B, or third category.
However, today’s striker from Melgar was able to get promotion with his club and played in the Primera B Nacional for several years, until in 2021 he decided to sign for the Arequipa team. This decision seems to be the best of his career, because last year he was one of the “Domino” scorers in the Copa Sudamericana and this 2022 continues to shine.
Although he did not start against Cuiabá in the last match of the Group Phase, Bordacahar is usually a regular starter in Néstor Lorenzo’s cast and in the decisive match he scored two goals against the Brazilian team to give him the classification to the Round of 16 to Melgar.
As is known, the great performance of the Argentine throughout last season served to renew his contract this year and it seems that the story between the player and the Arequipa team will last for a while.
