Tense scene in Colombian soccer. Over the weekend, Teófilo Gutiérrez, striker for Deportivo Cali, and Miguel Borja, striker for Junior de Barranquilla, had a strong exchange of words. The aforementioned moment occurred during the game of the 15th day of the Bet Play League (it ended 1-1) at the home of the ‘Azucareros’.

“You screwed up… in the Qualifiers, bastard”, shot ‘Teo’ Gutiérrez at his rival. The phrase of the former River Plate is related to the participation of the man from the “Sharks” with the Colombian team on the way to Qatar 2022. The national team ran out of chances to participate in the World Cup.

After the controversial incident that was captured on local television, the Deportivo Cali gunner spoke through social networks. Although, Gutiérrez’s release came after the statements that Borja offered to the media as soon as the contest for the domestic championship ended.

“These are things that happen on the field. Many things are said to deconcentrate rivals and more to a player like Teo who has quality “, expressed Miguel Ángel, with a past in Palmeiras. In this way, the Colombian international lowered the tension to avoid aggravating the problem with one of his colleagues.

Immediately, through a story on Instagram, Teófilo used the video in which Borja declared to send a message to the current Junior footballer. “We are colleagues and that remains on the field, he knows how much I appreciate him”expressed Gutiérrez, who also knew how to defend the national team jersey.

The image left by both soccer players surprised locals and strangers in the Colombian environment. A few years ago, the two athletes formed a dangerous duo in Junior. They were partners and had a good relationship, when they coincided in the Barranquilla box.

Borja was with the Colombian team in the last double day of the Qualifiers. The striker scored a goal in the 3-0 win over Bolivia and was one of the substitutes in the 1-0 win over Venezuela. Despite the positive results, Reinaldo Rueda’s team did not even reach the playoffs for the tournament at the end of the year.
