A new day of international soccer ended loaded with actions of some Colombian soccer players who ended up making history for their titles, their goals and even their expulsions, where they all ended up being news worldwide.
Without a doubt, the result that resonated the most at the international level was the title that the Los Angeles FC team won in the MLS and that had the three Colombians on its payroll, where Cristian ‘Chicho’ Arango, Jesús Palacios and Eddie Segura were part of this first historic championship of the California club.
Continuing with football in this part of the world, in South America, Johan Carbonero was crowned champion with Racing, in the Champions Trophy, being a starter in Fernando Gago’s team against Boca Juniors, but the title was not complete, as he was expelled along with the other Colombian, Sebastián Villa, after a clash that they starred in the second half.
Likewise, in that same match between Boca and Racing, Frank Fabra was the protagonist for a formidable assistance to overtake the xeneize in the grand final, but he also ended up seeing the red card in extra time and being part of the expelled show that had a history of ten players cautioned with the red card.
Making a tour of European football, the most outstanding came from Russia and was Jhon Córdoba, who scored a goal with Krasnodar in the 3-3 draw against Fakel, where the Colombian striker was the most outstanding with a score of 8.1.
Continuing on the old continent, in Italy’s Serie A there were several classic duels and the highlight was the return of Duván Zapata with Atalanta, who recovered from an injury and was able to play 20 minutes in the 2-1 defeat against Napoli. Luis Muriel was not due to injury.
Likewise, Juan Guillermo Cuadrado was captain, starter and standout in the classic against Inter Milan, a match that ended up winning the Bianconero 2-0, recovering little by little after his poor start in Serie A in Italy.
In the Premier League there was also action for a Colombian, but he was not enough of a protagonist, where Jefferson Lerma played as a starter with Bournemouth and received a yellow card in the 4-3 defeat against Leeds United, who did not have Luis Sinisterra due to injury.
Finally, Rafael Santos Borré started as a substitute and played for Eintracht Frankfurt for 16 minutes, contributing little to his team’s 2-1 win over Augsburg in the Bundesliga.
