Last night Lobos was subbed in on the 86th minute of a 0-0 draw with Independiente. It seems Lobos is becoming our better ambassador in Argentina.

Patriotas Boyacá lost on PK's against CD Tolima. Uvaldo Luna came off the bench in the second half. We'll see what happens with him now. He was on loan from Tigres. Apparently some Colombian clubs were interested in him... I think he should stay in Colombia. I don't see him getting minutes if he goes back to Tigres unless maybe they sell Damm... #LaLigaxRCN 62' ⚽️ TOL 0-0 PAT ⚽️ Cambio en Patriotas.
