Football Firsts: Yáser Asprilla

The Golden Boys reveal some of the footballing firsts from throughout their career.

This time, it's Yáser Asprilla...

First game you watched live?

The first game I saw was Envigado, the team I played for in Colombia after coming through the youth ranks there, against Nacional. It ended in a 2-1 defeat.

First football boots?

My first pair were Nike Mercurial boots, just like Cristiano Ronaldo!

First football kit?

I remember having an Envigado kit – everything back then was always Envigado!

First professional game?

My first game was for Envigado against Medellín, which ended in a 4-1 defeat.

First professional goal?

I will talk about my first goal for Colombia! It was against Guatemala. I received the ball outside, cut into the middle and shot across into the far corner.

First red card?

I have never had a red card in my career, only yellows. My first yellow card was for a handball.
