Mexico: they bet 300 thousand dollars with the owner of the club, they lost and now they have to pay for two golf carts

Each club’s strategies for motivating their players vary. There are those who try to revive the spirit of the fans and also those who bet on cash rewards, as did the owner of the Mexican team Mazatlán Ricardo Salinas Pliego, promising his players 300,000 dollars if they win against the Pumas, but after the goals Argentinians Dinenno and Salvio, lost 2-1. ANDSo yes, if they lost there was also a bet to settle…

Mazatlán FC are bottom of the table and a way had to be found to encourage the team. For this reason, the owner attended the match against Pumas and, as a preview, visited his players’ locker room. It was there that he told them that if they won he would give them $300,000 to distribute across campus. Daring and a millionaire. Even so, the bet was two-sided and if they lost, the players themselves would have to pay for two golf carts.

After Juan Ignacio Dinenno and Eduardo Salvio scored the two goals for the felines’ victory, the Mazatlán team will have to define which model of golf cart it will buy. Not even the monetary incentive was needed to go out of the streak of eight games without a win. With this result, Pumas ranks ninth at the Clausura 2023, while the others are last.

HOW WAS THE GAME?

Argentines Juan Ignacio Dinenno and Eduardo Salvio led the triumph of the Pumas UNAM 1-2 at Mazatlán FC, matchday 9 of the Clausura 2023 Mexican soccer tournament.

While the Mazatlecos, in their first approach in the Pumas area, at an altitude of 44, open the scoring. Paraguayan Josué Colman filtered a pass to Benedetti, who entered the box from the right and before Uruguayan goalkeeper Sebastián Sosa came out, made it 1-0. The Pumas don’t stop trying in the second half and the Argentine in the 50th minute Gustavo Del Prete provided an assist to Salvio, who beat a defender to make it 1-1 with his left foot. Del Prete arrives at the second assist in the 75th minute, when he leaves a ball for Dinenno, who controls a ball in the area to define the 1-2.
