Carrascal’s teammate matches Zico’s qualifiers record in Colombia clash | OneFootball

What did Luis Suárez achieve in the match between Colombia and Venezuela?

The cycle of South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup came to an end this Tuesday (09). In the closing of the last round, the qualified Colombia applied a thrashing over Venezuela, away from home, by 6 to 3. In the match, Luis Suárez scored four goals and, with this, the Carrascal's teammate in the selection reached an identical feat of Zico in the competition.

Luis Suárez joined a select group of players who have reached this mark. One of them is Zico, who scored four goals in a single game for Brazil in 1977 in the thrashing over Bolivia, by 8 to 0. Besides the goals, the Flamengo idol also gave two assists. Closing the list appear Careca and Romário achieving the feat for the 'Amarelinha', and Zamorano and Luis Suárez for Chile and Uruguay, respectively.

SPEAK, LUIS SUÁREZ!

— We work hard to have a good performance. Scoring four goals in a Qualifiers match playing for my country is a great pride. But this ends up becoming a secondary plan, because we always enter the field seeking victory for the selection to win. This is the main —, declared Luis Suárez after the thrashing of Colombia over Venezuela.

DID CARRASCAL PLAY IN COLOMBIA'S MATCH AGAINST VENEZUELA?

While Luis Suárez reached a personal record, Jorge Carrascal was not even related to the game. The 'veto' of the Flamengo midfielder has no connection with a clinical problem, but rather, coach Nestor Lorenzo's choice. It is important to note that in addition to being out of the match against Venezuela, the player played for a few minutes in Colombia's victory over Bolivia, by 3 to 0.

WILL CARRASCAL PLAY IN FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH?

After the end of the FIFA Date, Carrascal and other players return to Flamengo. On Thursday (11), the midfielder will undergo a reassessment by the club's Medical Department. If everything is 'ok', the Colombian will be available to Filipe Luís in the clash with Juventude, on Sunday (14), for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão.

In short, the ball rolls at 4pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul. The Coluna do Fla, as usual, brings the details through YouTube, as well as website and social networks. Finally, Amazon Prime (streaming) broadcasts the duel.
