Yesterday, in the match against the Uruguayan team, Camilo Vargas was sent off in the 87th minute after avoiding a one-on-one that finally resulted in a penalty in favor of the visitors. The Federation has already announced the replacement of the Bogotá goalkeeper, and the chosen one is José Luis Chunga, goalkeeper of Deportivo Independiente Medellín, who will join the 26 called up by Néstor Lorenzo.
The DIM goalkeeper has played 14 games in the Betplay League with his team, keeping a clean sheet in 4 of those games. Chunga will join the national team in the city of Medellín, where they will prepare for the confrontation against Ecuador in the city of Quito. The Federation’s decision to train in Antioquia territory is for not immediately changing from the climate of Barranquilla to that of the Ecuadorian capital.
