Nacional fans ask that Jefferson Duque leave the team by elimination

The great responsible for the elimination of National Athletic from BetPlay League 2 2022 has name and surname: Jefferson Duke. The striker, recognized for his effectiveness in charges from the penalty spot, failed at the most decisive moment of the semester, which unleashed the fury of the fans.

Duke, at 35 years old a collection failed again from the 12 steps in his football career after four years and 10 days. Something that had not happened since October 20, 2018, when he was a member of Atlas de México, and he wasted an execution against the Tiburones de Veracruz, in development of Liga MX.

Jéfferson Duque had not missed a penalty since October 20, 2018, in the victory (4-3) of his team, Atlas de México, against Veracruz. Since then he had hit 20 online. A heavy blow for a man who is lethal from 12 steps. Of 34 charges, only five failed. pic.twitter.com/PBZqT5drqq

They ran the 90 + 4 ‘of the match when Duque had on his feet the option of putting the ‘purslane’ to the semi-final home runs of the League, after a controversial foul sanctioned against him -with the help of VAR- by the central referee Luis Matorel, seemed to give the host a great help.

But ‘The Fiera’, with a careless shot to the right side of goalkeeper Washington Ortega, who guessed the intention, wasted the obvious option of avoiding the embarrassment of the nationalist team, which after four seasons and six tournaments will see the party of the best eight through TV.

The man who had 20 online executions successful, one after another, was not up to the circumstances. And he completed his fifth mistake in 34 shots from the penalty spot, which the FPC had not seen him make a mistake since August 28, 2017, when he played for the Deportivo Cali.

As it was expected, the rain of criticism towards the battering ram did not wait. In fact, the player left in the midst of strong insults and followers who cried out for him to leave the institution; despite the fact that he had just renewed his contract for the next year, confident of a good finish in 2022.

And it is that the 30 points made in the regular phase of the tournament, with a yield of 50%, were insufficient for the reigning champion to defend his crown in the contest. A monumental failure for a team confident of starting the era of Paulo Autuori on the right foot.

Amidst the noise, Atlético Nacional leaves the field. Failure in the semester. ❌ pic.twitter.com/8IXbUqG2ti
