Q: Esteban Andrada – La Sabandija was a factor for La Maquina to fall by the wayside, as it stopped several dangerous actions, so much so that it ended up being designated as the Man of the Match.

DC: Hector Moreno – The U-17 world champion is the leader of the central defense and is the one who puts order, for this reason, he is always contemplated by the coach, especially since he is about to experience a new World Cup.

DC: Cesar Montes – With his failed transfer to Russia, little by little El Cachorro is being taken into account again, returning to his place as a starter in the center alongside the experienced Dark.

LD: Stefan Medina – For now, the Colombian will continue to appear on the right side, since the central defense is well formed, so he has the freedom to go to the front.
