Alexei Rojas kept a clean sheet and made a number of big saves in a Man of the Match display on his first appearance for Colombia’s under-20s against Brazil on Saturday.
The 1-0 win was Colombia’s final group game of the CONMEBOL Sub 20 tournament, which has seen them draw 1-1 with Argentina, beat Ecuador 1-0 and beat Bolivia 3-2 to finish top of Group B.
In the tournament, which acts as the qualifiers for the FIFA U20 World Cup, Colombia will now face Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Uruguay in the final round of matches across February.
Posting on his Instagram account on the weekend, Alexei said: “This is Colombia. Very happy to have contributed to the team in an important victory against Brazil.
“First in the group, let’s go for more Colombia!”
