Sharks Start on the right foot (yeah… I know, but is a cool title)

By: Lugo | February 4th, 2008

Playing at the Jaime Morón stadium in Cartagena, because the Metropolitano is suspended and the city is in carnival frenzy, Junior had a good season start by getting a home victory against Once Caldas.

At the 23rd minute, right wing Hayder Palacio, who returned to the team after his spell at Deportivo Cali, scored the first goal of the match on a penalty kick. Three minutes after the beginning of the second half, peruvian striker Johan Fano scored the temporary drawing score for the visitors and Herly Alcazar (former Once Caldas player) gave Junior the three points. On a somethat surprising note, it seems Carlos Perez has beaten Didier Muñoz for the goalkeeping starting spot.

Lineups:

Atl. Junior: Carlos Pérez; Háyder Palacios, Róller Cambindo, Hilario Cuenú, Háyder Romero, Wainer Caneda (Del Castillo, 27’), Nicolás Torres, Giovanni Hernández (Méndez, 88’), Émerson Acuña, Herly Alcázar and Jorge Díaz (Ruiz, 65’).
Substitutes: Didier Muñoz, Marcelo Méndez, Vladimir Hernández, Luis Carlos Ruiz and Álex del Castillo.
Head Coach: Santiago Escobar.

Once Caldas: Héctor Landázuri; Jimmy Asprilla, Samuel Vanegas, Alexis Henríquez, Luis Núñez, Carlos Ortiz, Nilson Cortés, Elkin Blanco (Canchila, 30’), Dayron Pérez, Johan Fano and Édinson Chará (Mena, 80’).
Substitutes: Julián Mesa, Hárnold Palacios, Marco Canchila, César Alzate y Wilson Mena.
Head Coach: Juan Carlos Bedoya.

    Guess Carnival didn’t distract you guys that much.

    And that’s an example of maturity, I must say. Professionalism is a word that not always goes on hand with Colombian footballers. But this is good.

    Lugo, just curious if Junior’s management ever replied to your request for insider access that you mentioned in an earlier post?
