Decimated by Covid cases, Colombian team play (and lose) at seven

Nice hand compo -

District players are used to this fact, professional players a little less so.

Decimated by numerous cases of Covid-19 in its workforce, Rionegro Aguilas' team appeared on the pitch with only seven players against Boyaca Chico (including two goalkeepers), in Colombian D1.

Rionegro's team expressed their dissatisfaction with the continuation of the meeting by displaying the messages "first life" and "fair play" - which strangely did not appear on the images of Colombian TV - before kick-off.

The first period did not go badly despite the clear numerical inferiority since the decimated team went back to the locker room with a 0-0 draw.

But the injury exit of one of his players ended the game for good in the 79th minute.

Final score, 3-0.

Small consolation, Rionegro Aguilas goalkeeper was named man of the match for his Keylor Navas performance.
