Player Info

Rodrigo Rivas González is a Colombian target man currently leading the line for Independiente Petrolero in Bolivia. Born on April 11, 1997, the 28-year-old striker possesses a classic number nine's physique, standing at 190 cm tall and weighing 80 kg, making him a formidable aerial presence. Rivas began his career in Colombia before making the move to Bolivian football, where his physical attributes and penalty-box prowess have made him a key player. His style is that of a traditional center-forward: strong in hold-up play, dangerous from set-pieces, and a reliable finisher when chances arise. At Independiente Petrolero, he has become a focal point of their attack, using his strength to bring teammates into play and his heading ability to score crucial goals. His performances have made him one of the more valuable players in the Bolivian league. While international recognition with Colombia's senior team is a distant prospect given the nation's depth in attack, Rivas has carved out a successful and impactful career abroad, embodying the export of Colombian talent to leagues across the Americas.
