Juanfer Quintero Set for Debut as América Faces Santa Fe

CALI, Colombia — Juanfer Quintero is poised to make his starting debut for América as they face Santa Fe in a highly anticipated match at Pascual Guerrero on February 15, 2025. After waiting for this moment, Quintero’s presence is expected to enhance América’s performance as they aim to maintain their unbeaten streak.

The match is particularly crucial, as América currently holds 7 points from three games, remaining undefeated in the league. With Quintero joining the squad, the team hopes to capitalize on his skill to create further opportunities on the field.

In contrast, Santa Fe is also on an unbeaten run, accumulating 6 points with one victory and three draws. Coach Peirano is expected to rotate his lineup with younger players, preparing for their upcoming Copa Libertadores campaign. “We are focusing on building a team that can adapt and perform under pressure,” Peirano said during a press conference.

The stakes are high for both teams, and each side aims to capitalize on any advantages. Quintero’s inclusion is seen as a critical factor that might tip the scales in favor of América.

América’s probable starting 11 includes goalkeeper Soto, defenders Mina, Medina, Pestaña, and Castillo, midfielders Álvarez Balanta, Navarro, and Vergara, with Quintero in an attacking role alongside forwards Holgado and Luis Ramos. On the other end, Santa Fe is expected to field goalkeeper Mehring, defenders Monroy, Moreno, Scarpeta, and Mafla, midfielders Molina, Torres, and Perlaza, with forwards Balanta, López, and Rodríguez.

The match promises to be fiercely competitive, and victory may well come down to meticulously executed strategies and small details on the pitch.
