Teófilo Gutiérrez returned to the second division of Colombian football, now to a club with high aspirations of promotion. Teo debuted this Sunday with Real Cartagena with a victory.
The 2-0 against Boca Juniors de Cali, at the Jaime Morón stadium, left those led by Alberto Suárez, for now, in third place in the table, with 11 points, four behind Atlético Huila, who this Sunday thrashed visitor 0-3 to Atlético de Cali.
Teo's debut was auspicious. According to the report of journalist Ricardo Bello, from Córner Cartagena, he played 60 minutes and was about to provide his first assist with the Real shirt. Miguel Murillo scored the first goal, in the 45th minute. The second goal was scored by Paraguayan Ariel Roa, in the 88th minute.
First intervention of clarity by Teo Gutiérrez, a good filtered pass that almost ended in the first for Real Cartagena.

Real Cartagena put together a very strong team to return to A, where it has not played since losing the category in 2012. He had already brought in Christian Marrugo at the beginning of the season and has just hired Luis Fernando 'Chino' Sandoval, after the novel of his departure from Deportivo Cali.
This Sunday, neither Marrugo nor Sandoval were in the lineup. The first is injured and would miss at least five games, while the second has not yet trained with his new team. He could appear on the next matchday, in which Real visits Unión Magdalena in Santa Marta.
'There are teams that don't play anything in the A'
At the press conference after the game, Teo expressed his joy for the victory and took the opportunity to mock Junior de Barranquilla, the team of his heart..
“It is a beautiful moment for my career. Watching games last night (laughs) I felt strange because now there are teams that don't play anything in A, so I think B has become very important, because of how the teams are being put together, because of the coaches there are. We have one of them, very capable,” declared Teo.
Indirect from Teo to @JuniorClubSA?? 🤔

Gutiérrez debuted in B with Barranquilla in 2016. He spent a year and a half in that club and scored 16 goals in 40 games. From there he went to Junior, where he began his great career, which took him abroad and to play in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
