Ex-Prem star, 39, breaks down in tears after getting injured… but stays on to score title winner
HUGO RODALLEGA is a man who knows all about the big moments having graced the Premier League. But on Sunday in a heart-stopping finale in the Colombian championship, the veteran striker added yet another unforgettable chapter to his storied career. 4 4 4 4 Independiente Santa Fe triumphed 2-1 over Medellin at the Atanasio Girardot Stadium. Securing their tenth league title in what will go down as a historic achievement for the Bogota-based side. Rodallega was the hero but not without a fight. Just moments into the match, the former Wigan and Fulham forward was clearly in trouble, clutching his leg in pain after suffering a muscle pinch. The pain was enough to reduce him to tears and it looked as though his day was done before it had even begun. But in a true display of determination, Rodallega battled on, refusing to leave the field despite his obvious discomfort. As the game wore on, Santa Fe and Medellin were locked at 1-1 and with time running out, it seemed like a penalty shootout might be the only way to decide the outcome. But just when it seemed like the game was slipping away, Edwar Lopez produced a moment of magic on the left wing, slicing through the Medellin defence with an electrifying run before delivering a perfect cross into the box. With just seconds remaining, Rodallega—summoning the last reserves of his strength, launched himself at the ball, striking it with power and precision. His right-footed shot sailed past the goalkeeper and into the back of the net, sparking wild celebrations from the Santa Fe players and fans. Rodallega's goal was more than just a title-winner, it was the crowning achievement of his season. With 16 goals to his name he claimed the top scorer award for the 2025-I Colombian league, solidifying his status as the standout player of the campaign.
