The full-back saw the red card in the friendly against Bolivia. Do Néstor Lorenzo’s plans change?
The Colombian National Team defeated Bolivia 3-0 this Saturday, June 15, in the last friendly preparation match before their participation in the Copa América 2024.
The Tricolor made one last exhibition in the United States, before debuting on June 24 against Paraguay. Thus, the coffee team, led by Néstor Lorenzo, remains undefeated and arrives as one of the favorites to reach the grand final, which will be played on July 14.
In the friendly against the Bolivians, there was a controversial play, in which Luis Díaz was attacked and his teammates immediately reacted with fury against the rivals, since the tackle was very strong and they could have injured one of the Colombian figures.
Thus, in the 68th minute Daniel Muñoz was sent off, as he was one of the most aggressive in his reaction and confrontation against the Bolivian players.
The right back saw the red card, like César Menacho in Bolivia.
Having been sent off in the friendly does not disrupt Muñoz’s dreams or the plans of coach Néstor Lorenzo.
According to the Copa América regulations, friendly games are prior to the competition, so the red card will not affect Daniel Muñoz. Thus, he will not miss the Cup debut, against the Paraguayans.
