Alfredo Morelos was hooked off after just 45 minutes of his full international debut for Colombia against South Korea.
The Sevco striker made the second of two substitute appearance in Friday’s 1-0 win over Japan with his starting role against South Korea greeted with delight across the Scottish media.
Morelos lasted just 45 minutes of today’s Kirrin Cup tie before being replaced by James Rodriguez with Colombia trailing 1-0. Three minutes into the second half Colombia equalised.
Cambio en el conjunto colombiano.
