Yerson Candelo Miranda (born 24 February 1992) is a Colombian footballer who plays as a right winger for América de Cali.

Club career

[edit]

Deportivo Cali

[edit]

Candelo joined Deportivo Cali's youth academy at a young age and made his professional debut in 2010.

Queretaro

[edit]

In 2015, Deportivo Cali and Queretaro reached terms for the 3 million dollar transfer of Candelo to "Los Gallos Blancos."

Atletico Nacional

[edit]

On 20 June 2018 he signed for Atlético Nacional.[2] On 1 November 2018, Candelo won his first title with the club, the 2018 Copa Colombia.

On 22 June, in the first leg of the 2022 Apertura finals against Deportes Tolima, Candelo scored a long range goal from the middle of the pitch, to put his team 2-1 up in an eventual 3-1 win. This goal was recognized as FIFA as a potential Puskas Award candidate.[3] Nacional later won the finals 4-3 on aggregate, with Candelo participating in the second leg.

In February 2023, he won his third title with the club, after Nacional won the 2023 Superliga Colombiana 5-3 on aggregate against Deportivo Pereira, with Candelo participating as a substitute in the first leg.

Shortly after the 2023 Apertura finals, which Nacional lost to rivals Millonarios, Nacional terminated Candelo's contract. It was rumored that this decision was taken because of a situation that happened in the closing minutes of the second leg of the finals, where mainly Candelo and Dorlan Pabón prevented two substitutions, against the decisions of manager Paulo Autuori, whose idea was to bring these players on for the penalty shootout. However, Candelo states that he never had anything to do with the substitutions, and that the club said they wanted to prioritize their younger players.[4][5]

Aucas

[edit]

On 30 July 2023, Candelo joined Ecuadorian side Aucas, after heavy interest from Millonarios.[6] Candelo scored one goal in a 4-0 victory against Mushuc Runa in the Liga Pro.

Criciúma

[edit]

After a season with Aucas, Candelo signed for recently promoted brazilian side Criciúma.

International career

[edit]

Candelo made his debut for the Colombia national team on 16 January 2022 in a 2–1 home win over Honduras.[7]
