In a remarkable display, Gleyfer Medina scored twice, propelling the Búcaros to a solid 3-1 victory against Alianza FC in their match during round 10 this Saturday at Estadio Américo Montanini. Medina showcased his skills by netting two goals from open play, first at the 34th minute and again at the 52nd minute of the second half. His contributions were pivotal in this celebration for Bucaramanga, alongside Juan Mosquera, who opened the scoring with a header in the first minute of the match.
Despite Carlos Lucumí’s early equalizer for Alianza FC with a header at the fourth minute, the visiting team’s hopes were dashed as Bucaramanga regained the lead and fortified it with Medina’s exceptional finishing.
Medina emerged as the standout player of the match, having not only scored two goals but also attempting two shots on target. Lucumí also made his mark, scoring one goal and trying his luck three times at the Bucaramanga goal.
