El pasado sábado 5 de abril del 2025, en una victoria contundente de Once Caldas contra América de Cali por la fecha 12 de la Liga BetPlay 1-2025, Dayro Moreno marcó un doblete y se puso en la primera posición de los máximos goleadores colombianos de toda la historia. Justo por esas 2 conquistas superó a Radamel Falcao García, que había llegado a 251 tantos oficiales el pasado 21 de febrero.
Y aunque los 2 jugadores siguen en la disputa por ser el máximo artillero del país en el fútbol profesional, es claro que ‘el Tigre’ cada vez es más afectado por las lesiones y ausencias obligadas, a pesar de su disciplina y dedicación a sus 39 años. Mientras que Dayro, que ha tenido una buena cantidad de problemas con comportamientos poco recomendados para un deportista profesional, cuenta con un físico privilegiado y parece estar más en forma con los mismos 39 de su excompañero de Selección Colombia en categorías juveniles y mayores.
El regreso de Falcao a jugar en el fútbol de Colombia se dio para cumplir el sueño de jugar con Millonarios, el equipo del que es hincha y en el que no pudo llegar a jugar como profesional antes de ir a River Plate de Argentina, siempre dijo que el récord de anotaciones no era uno de sus objetivos. Pero al estar en la misma competencia y al ser superado por Moreno, se ha creado gran revuelo en los medios y la afición, por lo que significó el doblete del ídolo del Once Caldas.
Así superó Dayro Moreno a Falcao García en la lista de máximos goleadores de Colombia
Más allá de que Once Caldas y América de Cali están en la disputa de la Copa Sudamericana, para el partido de la fecha 12 de la Liga, los blancos salieron al Palogrande de Manizales con su equipo titular, mientras que el visitante cambió a todos los jugadores principales. Rápidamente, esta ventaja fue aprovechada por Dayro Moreno, que a los 5 minutos cazó un balón en el segundo palo y se lanzó para mandarla al fondo y poner el 1-0.
En el primer tiempo parecía que se iba a alargar la diferencia, pero no llegaron más anotaciones y empezó a despertar la suplencia del ‘escarlata’. Y para el periodo complementario, con los ingresos de varios titulares, pudo haber llegado el 1-0. Pero mientras los caleños no estaban en su noche más acertada y fina, los de Manizales volvieron a ser peligrosos y a los 76 de juego materializaron un contraataque letal.
Después de un tiro de esquina en contra y con una salida rápida desde el fondo, Dayro Moreno participó con un toque para abrir el juego en el medio campo y empezó a correr hacia el área. Con el cambio de frente de Michael Barrios y el centro de Víctor Hugo Dorrego, el goleador ya estaba en el lugar indicado para recibirla de primera intención y mandar con potencia el balón al fondo de la portería.
Así, el de Chicoral (Tolima) puso el gol 353 en su cuenta personal en 20 años de carrera profesional y supera por 2 los 151 de Falcao García. Por eso le entregaron la corona y la capa del rey del gol en el país. En la siguiente jugada el histórico jugador fue sustituido para que los hinchas lo ovacionaran y su reemplazo, el boliviano Gilbert Álvarez, puso el 3-0 para la goleada.
Lista de máximos goleadores colombianos en el fútbol de toda la historia
En la lista de toda la historia, Falcao y Dayro ya dejaron atrás a Víctor Hugo Aristizábal, que por muchos años había tenido en sus manos este título de máximo artillero del país. Y Carlos Bacca, que también está en la Liga de Colombia, jugando para el Junior de Barranquilla, está muy cerca de superar esa marca de 346 y está a punto de cumplir los 39 años.
Se debe decir que ‘Aristi’ pide un par de goles en partidos no oficiales con la Selección Colombia, disputados antes del Mundial Estados Unidos 1994 contra clubes, pero en el registro oficial no cuentan estas anotaciones para las estadísticas. Además, hay un par de goles de Dayro Moreno que están en discusión porque fueron autogoles que se los dieron a su nombre.
Pero todo esto es una simple anécdota y polémica del momento, porque las cifras de estadígrafos y especialistas tienen estos registros:
- Dayro Moreno: 353 goles (Once Caldas, Athletico Paranaense, Steaua Bucarest, Xolos Tijuana, Junior, Millonarios, Nacional, Talleres de Córdoba, Oriente Petrolero, Bucaramanga y Selección Colombia)
- Falcao García: 351 goles (Lanceros Boyacá, River Plate, Porto, Atlético de Madrid, Monaco, Manchester United, Chelsea, Galatasaray, Rayo Vallecano, Millonarios y Selección Colombia)
- Víctor Hugo Aristizábal: 346 goles (Nacional, Valencia, São Paulo, Santos, Cali, Vitoria, Cruzeiro, Coritiba y Selección Colombia)
- Carlos Bacca: 342 goles (Barranquilla FC, Minerven, Junior, Brujas, Sevilla, AC Milan, Villarreal, Granada y Selección Colombia)
Y hoy, mientras Falcao se recupera de un golpe sufrido con Millonarios y Aristizábal ya está en periodo de retiro, Dayro puede seguir sacando ventaja en la lista, mientras que Bacca sueña con meterse a esa lucha en lo más alto de la tabla.

‘I’ve got to rein it in’ – Brook ready to change tactics in third Test
Harry Brook is prepared to "rein it in" in this week's third Ashes Test, admitting he has been guilty of "bad" errors since arriving in Australia.Brook has failed to fire in the series so far, managing just 98 runs in four innings and gifting his wicket with some poorly judged attacking strokes. The 26-year-old started the trip as the number two batter in the ICC world rankings, but has dropped two places in as many games and needs to carry more of the weight if England are to keep their campaign alive in Adelaide. Brook, who was promoted to vice-captain ahead of the tour, accepts he has made mistakes and has signalled an intent to be more selective."Sometimes I've got to rein it in a little bit, learn to absorb the pressure a bit more," he said.

Chiefs’ playoff elimination and Patrick Mahomes’ knee injury puts Chiefs dynasty at a crossroads. Is it a pause or the end?
As Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones processed Sunday’s 16-13 home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, a reporter’s question about being eliminated from postseason contention seemed to suddenly register in mid-thought.“I think the score was 13-13 or 13-10, so still had a fighting chance. Um…”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementJones paused and looked at reporters.“Are we out of the playoffs?” he asked. “We are? OK.”He pursed his lips for a moment and went silent.Those few seconds felt like reality hitting home for the Chiefs defensive star. A totality on Sunday for Kansas City — from the top of the franchise to the bottom of the fan base — that carried the wallop of a sledgehammer. There would be no astounding turnaround and run to a Super Bowl. Instead, the team’s streak of seven consecutive AFC title game appearances ended, falling one short of […]

Cowboys playoff bid in tatters after McCarthy leads Vikings to win
JJ McCarthy threw for two touchdowns and ran for one as Minnesota Vikings severely damaged Dallas' playoff hopes with a 34-26 victory over the Cowboys on Sunday night.The Vikings (6-8) won a second consecutive game after they were eliminated from the postseason playoff race before the kick-off. Minnesota was a 14-win playoff qualifier a year ago. The Cowboys (6-7-1) have to win their three remaining games and hope defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia goes 0-3 in order for Dallas to overtake the Eagles in the NFC East. It was a second straight loss for Dallas after getting over .500 for the first time this season. "It's just a thing to keep building on the rest of the way and leading into next year," said Minnesota receiver Jalen Nailor, who caught both of McCarthy's TD passes. "We just have a one-game […]
