He also made several appearances for the Colombian national team in unofficial games, most notably in 1993 against Bayern Munich and Palmeiras. Orlando Maturana was a prolific and creative goal scorer who earn a reputation as a poacher. His success in the national team was hampered by the availability of several more successful strikers such as Iván Valenciano, Antony de Ávila, John Jairo Trellez, Víctor Aristizábal, Luis Zuleta, Faustino Asprilla, Adolfo Valencia, and several other members of what is known today as the Colombian dream generation.
