However, this Tuesday's duel in Maturín against Venezuela is not a simple procedure: there are pending accounts and risks to look sideways.
The scenario is particular. While the Vinotinto plays life to reach the repechage, Colombia will go out to fulfill the calendar without the pressure of the table, but with the need to take care of several of its men. And it is that 11 soccer players of the coffee campus are warned: if they receive yellow card at the stadium Maturín Monumentalthe premiere will be lost in the World Cup. If they are not admonished, the sanctions will be deleted automatically after the final whistle in Maturín.
