This advantage made Uruguay look more enthusiastic. Several attacks were launched and produced opportunities, but did not result in a goal.

Uruguay led 2-0 in the 39th minute. Gabriel Villamil tried to reduce the opponent’s attack, but the ball went into his own goal. The score lasted until halftime.

Luis Díaz squanders Colombia’s ingenious strategy: Argentina escaped

Néstor Lorenzo had to alter the starting lineup against Brazil at Barranquilla prior to this crucial encounter. Cristian Borja and Yerry Mina took the places of left back Deiver Machado and defender Davinson Sánchez. After serving a suspension, Jhon Arias rejoins the assault, taking Jorge Carrascal’s place.

Muñoz began the game in midfield, winning the ball back for Colombia. James then ran down the left wing, and Luis Díaz confronted the goalkeeper following a three-finger pass. Players for Liverpool below the goal are unable to score.

The sixth and final goal was scored in the eighteenth minute. Thijs Dallinga, making his debut for the national team, was set up by left-wing replacement Cody Gakpo with a cross. Despite Dallinga’s best efforts, he was unable to head it on, and Gakpo’s cross ended up in the far corner, giving him the goal.
