Notes - Extremely rare player shirt believed to have been issued to Mondragón for the Friendly match against Northern Ireland, played at Foxboro Stadium in Massachusetts on 3rd June 1994. This was the first ever meeting between the sides and Los Cafeteros were gearing up for the World Cup Finals in the USA later in the month. First half goals from Wilson Perez and Adolfo Valencia saw Francisco Maturana's side run out 2-0 winners here. Mondragón was an unused substitute as América de Cali keeperÓscar Córdoba played the full match in goal. He was named in the side's 22 man squad for USA 94' but wouldn't feature at the Finals as Colombia finished bottom of their group. The shot stopper went on to win 51 caps in total between 1993-2014 and enjoyed club spells with the likes of Independiente, Galatasaray and FC Köln.
