The epic play came when the Valle del Cauca team was partially losing 1-0 against Erzurumspor. At that moment, Rodallega arrived to ‘save the bell’ and score the goal that is already going around the world and that has been applauded by football peers, technicians and the sports press.

It was in the 46th minute that the national scored the goal, while the ball was bouncing, Rodallega was encouraged, hit the ball from afar, grabbed the goalkeeper outside and thus achieved the partial 1-1 on the scoreboard.

More goals from Rodallega

With Colombian striker Hugo Rodallega in the starting squad, Denizlispor managed to rescue a point at home in the game on date 33 of the 2020/21 Turkish Super League.

The Valle del Cauca striker and captain of ‘Los Gallos’ managed to add a unit with only three minutes remaining to finish the commitment that they lost 0-1, at the Denizli Ataturk Stadium against Kasımpaşa Spor Kulübü, from minute 49 with a score from the Hungarian Kevin Varga .

Thanks to a penalty awarded by Video Arbitration Assistance (VAR) on Oğuz Yılmaz in the 86th minute of the match, Hugo took a penalty kick that was holed around the left corner of the rival goal. The shot was powerful enough for the goalkeeper to not be able to stop it, even if he had guessed the direction of the shot..

The situation is not easy for the Rodallega club, as it is last in the standings with 26 points and a goal difference of -25. Occupying the 21st position in Turkey’s first division soccer tournament and with 31 games played, the team struggles not to lose the category by leaving the last four boxes.

The ‘Hugol’ figures

Rodallega is the top scorer for his team with eleven goals scored in the current campaign. He is ranked eighth in the overall scorers table of the Turkish first division tournament.

His last goal in the competition was made more than a month ago. On March 6, Hugo scored against Yeni Malatyaspor on date 29 of the Turkish Super League, that day his club won 3-2 on the scoreboard, scored the first goal and assisted the third.

The portal specialized in coffee football, ‘La Hora del Fútbol Profesional Colombiano’, reviewed Rodallega’s journey in terms of participations and goals since his arrival in football in Europe.

Since leaving Deportes Quindío, Deportivo Cali, Atlas and Necaxa, Rodallega played for Fulham, Wigan, Akhisarspor, Trabzonspor and Denizlispor, teams where he now registers 121 goals and 401 games, considering his participation in Thursday’s 1-1 draw April 8.

Now the Rodallega team is preparing to visit Alanyaspor on April 12 to continue adding and escape from the bottom of the decline in the Turkish first category.

Rodallega’s chances of returning to Colombian football

The experienced scorer from Candelaria, Valle del Cauca, spoke with the El Lengua de Caracol Radio program and left a phrase that many interpreted as a flirtation for América de Cali, a club with whom he has had previous conversations to make a signing. “I have never ruled out the idea of ​​returning to Colombian football, it is that when I have received an offer from there I have always been with a contract. Right now in June I finish the contract in Turkey “Rodallega said in an interview with the radio outlet.

KEEP READING:

Rafael Nadal could not shorten this week the 360 ​​points that Daniil Medvedev takes in the ranking and that keep him as number two in the world. It should be remembered that the Russian was killed in the last minute at the Monte Carlo Masters 1,000 after testing positive for coronavirus and plans to return to official competition at the Mutua Madrid Open (May 2 to 9).

The Spaniard will be next week at the 68th edition of the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell. The title, which would be the twelfth in God, will carry a double prize as it will allow him to overtake Medvedev on the ATP charts and immediately place himself behind Novak Djokovic. That position is key for the Roland Garros draw and thus avoid the confrontation between the two colossi of the racket before a hypothetical final.

Nadal, who is defending 180 points as a 2019 semifinalist, is hurt by the new ranking scoring rule as a result of the pandemic. And it is that Medvedev, despite not going to Barcelona, will keep 150 points of the 300 that still have as the last finalist of the contest.

That forces Nadal to add the 320 that would give him the achievement of the trophy of the classic of the earth.

Trace Montecarlo’s debut in God: Mannarino or a tennis player from the previous

In the 68th edition of the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell, Rafael Nadal debut with the winner of the match between Adrian Mannarino and a player from the previous. This is how the same start of the Monte Carlo Masters 1,000 is repeated.

In the Monegasque Principality, Mannarino yielded in the first round with Federico Delbonis and the Argentine was the first touchstone of the king of the land.

The manacor has fallen through the less hard part of the table and has the Argentine Diego Schwartzman, as the greatest obstacle towards a hypothetical final. Avoid Stefanos Tsitsipas, as second favorite, to Andrey Rublev, his executioner in Monte Carlo, already a large part of the new generation led by Jannik Sinner, Denis Shapovalov, Casper Ruud, Alex de Miaur and Felix Auger-Aliasime.

The curtain of the first function for El Salvador ended, this Friday, like a black night for the basketball team. The national team fell to Costa Rica, 58-78, in their debut in the Pre-qualifying Tournament of the Americas for the FIBA ​​Basketball World Cup 2023, at the “Adolfo Pineda” National Gymnasium.

ESA’s efforts left Roberto Martínez as the top scorer, with 26 points. Also, Ronnie Aguilar stood out, with 15 rebounds; and Carlos Arias, with three assists, three steals and a block. For the Ticos, the leader was Víctor Arias (15 points, nine rebounds and one steal).

From the first period, Costa Rica was better, which in four minutes was up 2-11, with the only two points converted by Ronnie Aguilar. The Salvadoran team could not reduce the difference, which remained between four to five points at a disadvantage.

The penetrations of Roberto Martínez collaborated, who was the most effective in free practice and helped to establish the national game. The contribution also grew with Carlos Arias, as the most multifunctional. The first ten minutes would close with a partial favorable to the Ticos (15-20).

But the Salvadoran push allowed to shorten distances to only two at some point. It could not be sustained, and despite the work of the Aguilar post, since the nationals improved defensively, it did not go back. He even closed down by seven before the break (24-31).

What followed was not much different. The Ticos were more effective and began to drift away in the registries. Distance of up to 15 points was achieved by Costa Rica, which settled down on the court, played calmer and showed the superiority that has always characterized it.

In the last period, when El Salvador fell by 20 points (35-55), the hits contributed minimal to the local recovery. The wide visitor advantage was protected until the end. Costa Rica solved a game in which it always went ahead, and from which ESA found no answer in its shots, or a solution to its failures, and gave it up until the end.

This Saturday, the Blue and White will play against Guyana, in a duel of losers. The Caribbean have two defeats in the tournament, and the nationals will seek to recover in their second presentation.

In the match that opened the day, Jamaica obtained its second consecutive victory, after defeating Guyana, 107-87. The Jamaicans continue with a perfect pace and, after this result, they remained leaders (four points).

In the game, the leader in points was Omari Johnson, with 26, for those of the “reggae”; while in rebounds and assists, Warren Williams (12) and Joel Bailey (nine) stood out. The latter also featured in robberies (three). For his part, the best for the Guyanese was Anthony Moe, with 25 digits; along with Stanton Rose (eight rebounds) and Terron Welch (five assists).

For this Saturday, Jamaica will face the other strong team of the tournament such as Nicaragua, which yesterday rested and that on the opening date beat Guyana (73-84).
