Pacific Derby (Description of an event)

Description of an event

6 years ago, when Marcelo Bielsa became the Chilean national soccert team coach, I decided to travel to Santiago with my family and then go to see the march between Chile and Perú at "Estadio Nacional".

This amazing experience started arriving to the stadium which was at a medium-capacity. Suddenly wearing t-shirts, the supporters began to appear in their seits. Then I realized that everything and everybody were ready for the kick-off. The match began with a dominating Chile that attached intensely during de first minutes until, with a corner kick served by Matias Fernandez, a Humberto Suazo's header came up breaking the resistance of the peruvian keeper. Then, un the second half, the match dind't changed at all and Fernandes  became protagonist scoring the definitive 2-0.

Although the match was very exciting, an unforgettable moment of this event was the national anthem. Even when I am not a very nationalistic person, it was unavoidable to feel how my blood was running through my veins.

All in all, even if you don't like football/soccer, the kind of emotions that you can see in this place, which is full of history, are feelings that you have to experiment.
