It was a 5 of September in 1993 . It was in Buenos Aire, Argentina in the Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti .The was the last day to enter the USA world cup for Colombia. It was Colombia vs Argentina. Both teams were very good and had excelent players but most people expected Argentina to win since they had much more fame and were very good in the world cup. The soccer game had 75,000 spactators. People after the game said that it was 5 goals but it felt like a million. That day there were 23 players playing. You might be thinking why 23 and not 22 since thre are 11 in each team. Well thats because the Argentina team did a substitution. The goals made that day were made by Adolfo Valencia, 2 by Freddy Rincon, and 2 by Faustino Asprilla. After the game Colombia ended with 10 points and Argentina ended up with 7. So Argentina had to play another game to maybe enter the World Cup.
