Five Facts You May Not Know About The 1930 World Cup - Part Five

1. Two of the Peruvian players, Julio Lores and Jorge Sarmiento Koochoi, were of Chinese ethnicity, known as the Tusanes. Their descendents were part of the 100,000 Chinese culies who arrived in Peru between 1849 and 1874 to work on the estancias. Some would integrate by marrying local women. 

2. There were five pairs of brothers from three foreign delegations that arrived in Uruguay in 1930. Mexico contained three sets of siblings: the Garza Gutierrez bothers, Rafael and Francisco; Felipe and Manual Rosas Sanchez; and Isidoro Sota Garcia, the goalkeeper who was the younger brother of Ernesto Sota Garcia, head of the delegation. Lucien and Jean Laurent came from France while Juan and Mario Evaristo both played for Argentina in the World Cup Final.

3. Frenchman Alexis Thepot is the first goalkeeper in World Cup history to save a penalty. He stopped Carlos Vidal's spot kick in the 35th minute of the first half. He was unable to prevent his team losing 1-0 to Chile (19 July).

4. Angel Bossio played in all three of Argentina's group games but missed the semi-final and final due to an injury to the hand. This probably resulted from him punching Arturo Torres after the Chilean gave the keeper a violent kick.

5. After Argentina's defeat to Uruguay in the World Cup Final, there were violent scenes back home in Buenos Aires. According to local media reports, some 150 angry Argentinian fans attacked the Uruguayan consulate on Tucuman al 400, smashing several windows. Police had to intervene resulting in injury to officer Virgilio Marquez. 

1. Dos de los jugadores peruanos, Julio Lores y Jorge Sarmiento Koochoi, eran de etnia china, conocidos como los Tusanes. Sus descendientes formaban parte de las 100.000 culturas chinas que llegaron a Perú entre 1849 y 1874 para trabajar en las estancias. Algunos se integrarían casándose con mujeres locales.

2. Hubo cinco pares de hermanos de tres delegaciones extranjeras que llegaron a Uruguay en 1930. México contenía tres grupos de hermanos: los hermanos Garza Gutiérrez, Rafael y Francisco; Felipe y Manual Rosas Sánchez; e Isidoro Sota García, el portero que era el hermano menor de Ernesto Sota García, jefe de la delegación. Lucien y Jean Laurent vinieron de Francia, mientras que Juan y Mario Evaristo jugaron para Argentina en la final de la Copa del Mundo.

3. El francés Alexis Thepot es el primer portero en la historia de la Copa del Mundo en salvar un penal. Detuvo el puntapié de Carlos Vidal en el minuto 35 de la primera mitad. No pudo evitar que su equipo perdiera 1-0 ante Chile (19 de julio).

4. Angel Bossio jugó en los tres juegos grupales de Argentina, pero se perdió la semifinal y la final debido a una lesión en la mano. Esto probablemente resultó de que golpeó a Arturo Torres después de que el chileno le dio al arquero una patada violenta.

5. Después de la derrota de Argentina ante Uruguay en la final de la Copa del Mundo, hubo escenas violentas en Buenos Aires. Según informes de los medios locales, unos 150 hinchas argentinos enojados atacaron el consulado uruguayo en Tucumán al 400, rompiendo varias ventanas. La policía tuvo que intervenir resultando en lesiones al gendarme Virgilio Márquez.

The Chileans, however, were not intimidated, but played with greater effort, getting fourteen minutes to score a goal, the work of striker Subiabre. Then there were countless attacks on the Argentine goal, not making the score vary by the deviation of the shots of their strikers. During the offensive of the Chilean team, an Argentine player fouled one of his opponents, who got up and slapped the author of the foul. (*)Then a real pitched battle ensued between the players of both teams, with the game being suspended for several minutes, while the contenders were separated and the player victim of the foul was served. The game resumed, throwing the Chileans in free-kick, and, shortly after, the first half was over.

(*) For further on the identity of the players below, see comments below.

In the first forty-five minutes, the Chileans acted magnificently, because, although the Argentines scored two goals first, their game did not decline the least, and only the accuracy of their shots should be attributed the difference of scoring between both teams.

In the second half, the Argentines began playing with greater enthusiasm, achieving through Mario Evaristo mediation, the third in his favour. The Chileans made numerous attacks on the Argentine goal, wasting several times to score, due to the inaccuracy of their shots.

In the last moments, the Argentines attacked continuously, often putting the Chilean goal in danger; but they did not get any more.
