Eduardo Lara announces line-up for World Cup qualifier

by Jonathan Roorda March 27, 2009

Colombia coach Eduardo Lara has announced his starting line-up for next
Saturday’s World Cup qualifier with Bolivia, which is to be played in
Bogotá.

The most notable change in comparison to previous games is the appearance of 20-year-old goalkeeper David Ospina of French club Nice. The youngster will guard Colombia’s goal at the expense of veteran Agustín Julio.

Ospina made his first international appearance in February 2007, and featured nine more times since. Last year, the Medellín-born keeper made a move from Atlético Nacional to OGC Nice in the French Ligue 1.

Against Bolivia, the goals will have to come from River Plate striker Falcao Garcia and Darwin Quintero of Mexican side Santos Laguna.

The line-up:

David Ospina; Camilo Zúñiga, Cristian Zapata, Mario Yepes, Pablo Armero; Fabián Vargas, Abel Aguilar, Vladimir Marín; Macnelly Torres; Darwin Quintero, Falcao García.
