Yerry Mina stood out in the 1-1 draw between Cagliari and Juventus. The Colombian defender, known for his ability in defense, was the protagonist not only for his performance on the field, but also for a gesture that caused controversy. While celebrating the tying goal, scored by Razvan Marin in the 88th minute, Mina made a gesture with his hands that was interpreted as a provocation towards the Juventus fans, earning him a warning from the referee.
Mina, who played the entire match and received a 7.0 rating from SofaScore, highlighted that her relationship with Cuadrado was a determining factor in her reaction. “I am a very good friend of Juan Cuadrado, he did not like the way they treated him and the way he left me,” announced the Colombian defender. In addition, he downplayed his confrontation on the pitch with Vlahovic, considering it part of the game.

Cuadrado’s departure from Juventus marked the end of an era for the Colombian player, who had become an icon of the club. Although the details of his departure have not been fully disclosed, his transfer to Inter Milan was an unexpected turn in his career.
The match was also notable for the clashes between Mina and Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic, which caught the attention of the spectators. Mina, originally from Guachene, showed his ability to control the Juventus attacker, for whom he celebrated several plays when he did not leave clear scoring opportunities.
Now, Mina is preparing to travel to Bolivia and join the Colombian National Team, ensuring that she is in optimal physical condition for the upcoming international commitments.
Néstor Lorenzo called for 29 players from these commitments, which forms the basis of the team that reached the final of Copa América 2024 and recently tied with Peru in Lima and beat Argentina in Barranquilla. However, there are some notable absences in the squad, mainly in defence.
Yerson Mosquera, who scored the first goal against Argentina, will be unavailable due to a serious knee injury suffered at Wolverhampton, which will keep him out until mid-2025 as well as a tear in his right calf during a match with Genk in the Belgian League.
