When the spotlight was on other members of the squad who arrived with more ‘hype’, a man -without so much noise- has been in charge of leaving good impressions among the fans of the Sports Tolima. Not only has he been in charge of assisting his teammates, but he is one of the squad’s gunners, who is in the top places in the League and was at the top of the BetPlay Cup.
That item is the extreme Jeison Stiven Lucumi, who was the great protagonist of the victory of the ‘tribe’ (3-2) against Deportivo Pereira, for the ‘first leg’ of the round of 16 of the Cup. The Valle del Cauca player scored a goal and participated in another in this duel , in which he became the great figure and allowed his team to score three against a tough rival. The same one who was the ‘executioner’ in the 2021 edition.

With this much, Lucumí reached four celebrations since his arrival at ‘Vinotinto y Oro’, in a total of 791 accumulated minutes and 12 appearances. That is to say that, on average, ‘Lucu’ has scored a goal every 197.7′, or better yet, one every two games and something more. Thus he has begun to gain the prominence that was initially reserved for Michael Rangel, Andrés Ibargüen and Alexander Domínguez.
And it is that if Jeison Stiven needed something, it was to rediscover that good level that took him abroad, since his time at Elche in Spain and America was not the best. For example, with the ‘Red Devils’, he only scored three times per League, in a total of 33 appearances and 1,919 minutes addedfor which he was left in debt and his separation from the ‘Escarlata’ house occurred, sooner than he imagined.

He is even past his last year with Atlético Nacional, that of 2019, in which he only played 18 games, between the League and the Copa Libertadores, he only had 1,402′ of filming and scored on just three occasions. That’s how he got out of the ‘Verdolaga’ badge, with which he started well and then faded away, hence the importance of this opportunity for the 27-year-old from Cali, who made his debut with Atlético FC
