This Sunday, the Spanish midfielder Iago Falque made his debut with América de Cali against Once Caldas at the Pascual Guerrero Stadium, in a quite complex commitment due to the tactical disposition of each team and the condition of the pitch, due to the heavy rain that fell on the San Fernandino stage from 4:00 in the afternoon, causing the ball not to roll quite well in some sectors of the field.
This was not an inconvenience for Falque to start showing touches of the good game he has with the ball. In the first minutes, the 32-year-old Spaniard gravitated to the right side, where the game did not have much significance and the ball did not reach him, as the minutes passed he moved more towards the center and on the right side to have more participation in associative play with Carlos Sierra, Larry Angulo and with the reference in attack Adrián Ramos.
He was participative, gave several clearances to the space for the attackers and had a total of two shots, the first from the crescent of the area without much force that defender Brayan Córdoba stopped and the second that went well above the horizontal of Gerardo Ortiz.
In the end Falque was only able to play the first half due to the disposition of the coaching staff, so he is not yet at an optimal physical level for a full match and even more so due to the conditions on the pitch, but surely when he has his full physical condition, It will be a great alternative for Juan Carlos Osorio. In his first 45 minutes he gave 29 touches with an accuracy of 75%, 2 shots outside the box and a created option.
