Alexander in Venezuela’s starting line-up

The Málaga CF player was in action last night with his national team, in Bolivia, the fifth date of the South American qualifiers for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

Wearing the number ‘21’ jersey as a right midfielder, ahead of former Blue and White player Roberto Rosales, Alexander was part of the vinotinto starting-11. Just before half-time he was shown the yellow card. Up until his substitution in 63’, with obvious fatigue, he played the second half as left midfielder along with another ex Malaguista, Mikel Villanueva.

Venezuela suffered an away defeat by Bolivia (3-1) to score just three out of a possible 15 points, sitting at the bottom of the CONMEBOL standings. Venezuela, who have never taken part in a World Cup, will have another chance to earn points on 9th June (00:30) at home against Uruguay.
