Jhon Anderson Banguera Riascos (born 3 April 2004) is a Colombian footballer who plays as a central-defender for Belgian club Lommel.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Buenaventura in the Valle del Cauca Department of Colombia, Banguera began his career with Envigado's affiliate side in Palmira, before a move to the club's main team in Envigado in 2019.[1] On 18 May 2023, having broken into the first-team the previous season, Banguera scored an own goal in an eventual 2–1 away loss to Deportivo Pasto. Due to the nature of the own goal, many fans on social media suggested that Banguera had intentionally scored against his own side, as they believed he had enough time to successfully clear the ball.[2] Some fans resorted to sending death threats to not only Banguera, but his family as well.[3]

Speaking to Bluradio, Envigado head coach Alberto Suárez came to Benguera's defence, pleading with fans to stop their abusive messages.[3] He also explained that, as Banguera was left-footed, and the ball had fallen to his right foot before he had scored the own-goal, it was simply a mistake.[3]

In 2023, he was signed by the City Group and sent to Lommel in Belgium.
