Kevin Serna Debuts in Colombia's 4-0 Rout of Mexico in Texas

Coach Néstor Lorenzo praised his defensive tracking, saying he only lacked the luck to finish.

Overview

  • Serna started on the right flank with a carrilero role, tasked with tracking Jesús Gallardo and working in tandem with Daniel Muñoz.
  • Across 67 minutes before being replaced by Jaminton Campaz, he focused on defensive duties as Colombia controlled a World Cup warm-up at AT&T Stadium.
  • Match metrics reported included 9 of 11 passes completed (82%), 24 touches and three duels won, earning a 6.7 rating from SofaScore.
  • Lorenzo said Serna did exactly what was asked in an off-ball, hard-running brief and that only a scoring chance was missing.
  • ESPN Colombia’s Andrés Marocco highlighted his contribution without the ball but questioned his attacking impact, as Colombia next face Canada in another preparatory friendly while Serna continues to be evaluated for a World Cup roster place.
