The kind of end of the game that leaves a lot of questions.

Is it only conceivable to see a defense so stopped in the dying seconds of a match counting for the rise in the first division?

The images are striking.

Scored against a totally inert defense, the last goal of this game raises many suspicions about an arrangement between the two teams, since a victory for Unión Magdalena ensured them a promotion in the Colombian elite, the Dimayor league. .

Faced with this simulacrum of the end of the match, the Association of Colombian Football Players called for an investigation to determine the merits of this qualification at the upper echelon.

"What a lack of respect"

On Twitter, the Colombian star Juan Cuadrado said: "What a lack of respect this goal of the Unión".

While his compatriot Matheus Uribe described the situation as "shameful for Colombian football".

Especially since this promotion was made at the expense of the Fortaleza team, also in contention for the rise in the first division.

The coach of the injured team even burst into tears after witnessing this scenario, claiming to feel "robbed".

“We can lose but not in this way,” he added.

It will now be necessary to wait before knowing if an investigation will be officially opened in order to dispel or confirm the suspicions expressed by many Colombian footballers.
