The Final Score

In 1987, Colombian soccer was not respected by the international soccer community – that is, until Francisco Maturana took over Atletico Nacional, a second-rate team from cartel-controlled Medellin. Opposing the ruthless drug lords and the rival teams they sponsored, Maturana assembled a squad comprised exclusively of Colombian players that quickly became one of the best in the sport. Over the next 7 years, the "Puros Criolllos" would win an international title in the Copa Libertadores and compete in 2 World Cups. But the dreams of a torn country would soon transform into a deadly nightmare when the team and its renowned superstar, Andres Escobar, became cartel targets in this gripping true story of a sports team who dared restore hope to a nation plagued by brutality and terror.
