The Colombian National Team had no trouble defeating Bolivia and after a first half where they scored three goals, Néstor Lorenzo’s team had a calmer second half, where there were not many approaches, but in the last 20 minutes the game was the protagonist for the constant fouls from the Bolivians to the Colombians.
Luis Díaz, a great figure of the Colombian National Team, was the most affected, since on two occasions he received strong kicks, putting the winger, who could have been injured days before the start of the Copa América, against the ropes.

Although the first foul turned out to be something normal in the game, what took the Colombian players out of their clothes was a strong kick from Héctor Cuellar, who jumped violently and left the Liverpool star lying on the grass.
That foul, which had a bad intention, caused the Colombian players to protest against the Bolivians, with Daniel Muñoz being one of those who came up to confront them to tell them that this is not done, but those from the highlands could not hold out and ended up facing the side of the Crystal Palace and other players from the coffee team.
After the strong fight between players, the referee decided to expel Daniel Muñoz and in Bolivia César Menacho, who was one of those who attacked in that chaotic fight. However, the one who committed the foul, Héctor Cuellar, barely received a yellow card.
Fortunately, Luis Díaz did not end up with physical problems after the kicks received and Daniel Muñoz will be able to play in the Copa América without problems after the expulsion, but he will have to pay the penalty date in the next friendly played by Néstor Lorenzo’s team.
