Jhon Córdoba

Jhon Andrés Córdoba Copete (Spanish pronunciation: [ɟʝoŋ ˈkoɾðoβa]; born 11 May 1993) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Russian Premier League club Krasnodar and the Colombia national team.

Following an impressive season with Envigado, Córdoba was signed by Mexican club Querétaro and immediately loaned to fellow league team Chiapas on 9 July 2012.

He scored in his fifth home match in a row and notched his first Bundesliga brace in a 3–1 victory over VfL Wolfsburg on 18 January 2020.

[13] On 18 July 2021, Hertha BSC announced that they had reached an agreement with Russian Premier League club Krasnodar over the sale of Córdoba, pending contract signatures and a medical.

[18] Córdoba was selected to wear the number 9 jersey to represent Colombia at the 2013 South American Youth Championship.

Consequently, he was not selected for the final group stage match against Argentina, as Colombia had already secured a spot in the next round.

Córdoba scored the winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Uruguay, propelling Colombia to the top of their group.

Following their triumph in the South American championship, he tallied four goals, significantly contributing to his nation’s success.

This achievement made him Colombia’s second-highest scorer in the tournament, just behind Juan Fernando Quintero, who scored five goals.

[19] In the final group match against El Salvador, Córdoba successfully converted a penalty, contributing to a 3-0 victory.
