”Colombia’s national team was leading 3-0 against Bolivia in the last friendly match of the FIFA window when a tackle by Héctor Cuéllar on Luis Díaz disrupted the game in the 68th minute.
Luis Díaz was one of Colombia’s standout players and had scored one of the three goals. The Colombian team was clearly superior and demonstrated it in all aspects. As the match entered the final 20 minutes, Héctor Cuéllar committed a harsh foul on Lucho, sparking a heated moment that ended with two red cards.
The Bolivian defender went in aggressively on Díaz, who was running towards the ball with his back turned. Number 22 from Bolivia tackled him from behind with a scissors move on Díaz’s feet, leaving the Colombian attacker on the ground in clear pain.
This action prompted a reaction from Díaz’s teammates. Uribe and Muñoz confronted the opposing player while more players joined the altercation.
Incredibly, referee Daniel Quintero Huitron decided to only show Cuéllar a yellow card despite clear intentions of harming Lucho.
Those who received red cards were Daniel Muñoz and César Menacho, who clashed in a strong confrontation.
Following the incident, Néstor Lorenzo didn’t hesitate and substituted Lucho to avoid any potential injury ahead of the Copa América.”
