The Maximum Penalty
6.9
“Because the winner is the one who enjoys it.”
After seeing how the Colombian National Football Team achieves a draw against Argentina, Mariano Concha —a public employee for whom football is a great passion— starts a whole process to attend the next crucial match, in Bogotá and against the same team, going over all his duties and risking the future of his reduced economy. An unexpected event transforms his plans to go to the stadium.
