Yerry Mina’s blow to Lapadula: yellow card for the Colombian and ‘Bambino’ reaction | VIDEO

Gianluca Lapadula was the victim of Yerry Mina’s rudeness. The central defender dealt a strong blow to the striker. For this action, the local soccer player received the first yellow card from Peru vs. Colombia at 17 minutes in the match on date 15 of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers at the Roberto Meléndez Metropolitan Stadium.

La Blanquirroja, who has suffered from the pressure of the ‘coffee grower’ team, came out with a long ball from the bottom. The balloon crossed almost the entire field and through the air were the players mentioned in the dispute. The man from English Everton left the usual area and reached the height of the central circle to face the striker from Italian Benevento.

Mina gathered momentum and charged at Lapadula. Not only that, the former Barcelona hit the ex-Milan in the neck with his elbow. Thus, the attacker of the Peruvian team fell on the lawn of the colossus located in the city of Barranquilla. Immediately, there were protests by those led by Ricardo Gareca.

Then, referee Jesús Valenzuela approached the local defender to show him the yellow card directly. In parallel, the ‘Bambino de los Andes’ rejoined to reproach the rival for the violence applied in that action.
