The Colombian national team triumphed over Australia 3-0 in the early hours of Wednesday (19). Thus, at Citi Field in the United States, the Flamengo player Jorge Carrascal came off the bench to enter the second half of the friendly match.
The first half had few chances for both teams. This was because Colombia had a quiet night from James Rodríguez, while Australia made defensive errors.
The Colombian team improved in the second half and had a penalty awarded. Thus, James Rodríguez converted the penalty. At 80’ into the game, Carrascal finally entered, and at 88, Luis Dias extended the lead, and Lerma sealed the victory.
In both friendlies, the midfielder started on the bench and only entered in the second half. Thus, the Flamengo player played 25 minutes against New Zealand and nine against Australia.
After Colombia's game, Carrascal will have less than 24 hours to report to Flamengo for the classic match against Fluminense. The Mengão has arranged logistics to have the midfielder at Maracanã, starting at 21:30 (Brasília time), for the Brasileirão.
