“Colombia was cruising with a 3-0 lead over Bolivia in their final FIFA friendly when Héctor Cuéllar’s tackle on Luis Díaz at the 68th minute sparked chaos.
Luis Díaz, a key figure for Colombia with one of the three goals, was in superb form, showcasing their dominance. With just 20 minutes remaining, Cuéllar’s reckless challenge on Lucho led to a heated altercation, resulting in two red cards.
Cuéllar’s aggressive tackle from behind caught Díaz off guard as he chased the ball, leaving the Colombian forward writhing in pain on the ground.
The incident triggered a fierce response from Díaz’s teammates, with Uribe and Muñoz confronting the Bolivian player, escalating the confrontation.
Despite clear intent, referee Daniel Quintero Huitron surprisingly opted for only a yellow card for Cuéllar.
Daniel Muñoz and César Menacho were eventually sent off for their part in the ensuing altercation.
Following the fracas, Néstor Lorenzo promptly substituted Díaz to safeguard against any injury ahead of the Copa América.”
