00:00:00Yes, Brenes falls, who was midfielder, and what he did was to put Brenes as midfielder, and Galo and Aguilera as midfielders, and then Zamora and Ugal from the top.
00:00:08Brenes falls, of course he maintains the defense of three central defenders, with the very young Mitchell, 19 years old, from Alajuelense, one of the important teams in Costa Rica, along with Saprissa, with Herediano.
00:00:18And I say, he defended well. It is true that, let's see, Brazil created opportunities to win the game.
00:00:24The reality is that, if you see the game, I'm not saying it was an accident, because it is true that Costa Rica defended very well, but of course, Brazil created danger.
00:00:31But hey, in the end, he endured that 0-0, and we are going to see today if he is able to withstand a team that is in a good run and in a great moment like Colombia.
00:00:38Well, we already have the game underway. This duel between Colombia and Costa Rica began, with the Costa Rican team on the left of the image, on the right Colombia,
00:00:47who recovered the ball for the first time, and by the way, Quiroz, who is on the ground after that throw with Luis Díaz, who seemed to protect himself before the arrival of the right-back.
00:00:58There is Ernesto Lorenzo, I already say that fantastic work in the Colombian team.
00:01:05Gustavo Alfaro is also having a good impact in Costa Rica.
00:01:10By the way, we see Perea behind, who is one of Ernesto Lorenzo's assistants.
00:01:17And well, Quiroz, right-back from Herediano. Let's see if today it will be difficult for us to see the sides arrive in Costa Rica.
00:01:26Michel cut that ball, there we have Gustavo Alfaro, with a very extensive career along his sporting career.
00:01:3461 years aware of the weaknesses, of the possibilities that his team has.
00:01:43And of course, the other day he knew how to defend, he knew how to deny spaces to Brazil.
00:01:49And he practically ended up bittering Dorival Junior's life a little bit.
00:01:56Taking that ball out long, Colombia, with the pass in the direction of Luis Díaz.
00:02:02Closed there by Vargas, Díaz leaves. What a fantastic cut, trying to give him a lot of rhythm.
00:02:08He has also arrived with speed from behind.
00:02:12Madrigal to snatch that ball from Colombia.
00:02:15They are in a great moment of form. He has played great games in Liverpool.
00:02:19And of course, the national team is one of the great stars.
00:02:24He scored two goals, that famous comeback against Brazil, shortly after his father was released from that kidnapping.
00:02:30He played a game for history in Colombian football.
00:02:32Let's see the position, because he usually plays quite close to the left side.
00:02:35But at some point he's going to go inside, with Córdoba as a nine.
00:02:39Lasiter, leaving the ball for Calvo.
00:02:41The pressure from John Córdoba.
00:02:43The Uruguayan, Tejera, is missing.
00:02:50Costa Rica were not disorganized in that game against Brazil.
00:02:53We are commenting, or we are making a lot of reference, of course, to the meeting three or four days ago.
00:02:58But it is that it impacted, of course, that capacity and that solidity.
00:03:02As much as the team in attack barely had opportunities and opportunities.
00:03:08We do not speak in attack, because he practically had no options of being able to arrive.
00:03:13But in defense, he was frankly good.
00:03:16He hit Mojica in the long.
00:03:19That extension that allowed Córdoba to reach the ball.
00:03:23He had finished James on the floor.
00:03:25Córdoba ends in the same way.
00:03:28He took a good blow from the young Mitchell.
00:03:31The game that has started very intense, with some friction.
00:03:34Very highlight for America, because we have had several games.
00:03:37Peru-Chile was a field battle.
00:03:39Yesterday, Panama-United States were distributed nicely.
00:03:43And Chile-Argentina, there have been quite tough games.
00:03:47He left the ball for Calvo.
00:03:51Trying to leave Madrigal for that left wing.
00:03:53Lasiter, leaving the ball for Aguilera.
00:03:56That changes the orientation of the game to the right.
00:03:58Good opening.
00:03:59Kiros appears.
00:04:01Closed by Mojica.
00:04:02Kiros tries, looking for support from the inside.
00:04:07Zamora's ball.
00:04:09Mojica ends up getting it back.
00:04:11Mitchell.
00:04:13Here I didn't get the feeling that there was anything.
00:04:15And that's how the Uruguayan coach, Luis Díaz, makes it known.
00:04:20He gave me the feeling that here he tried to force a foul.
00:04:23That didn't exist at any time.
00:04:25Let's see the play.
00:04:27I have it all figured out.
00:04:28Mitchell, at 19 years old, has only been starting for two years.
00:04:32Of course, Mitchell's youth won't be an obstacle for him to be used 100%.
00:04:38Because he kicked Córdoba before.
00:04:40And now that play with a guy from Alajuelense, one of the big teams in Costa Rica.
00:04:44That caused a sensation against Brazil.
00:04:46And it could become one of the revelations of this Copa América.
00:04:4919 years old.
00:04:52He attacks Colombia.
00:04:53And he does it through Mojica.
00:04:55There goes Mitchell again.
00:04:57Trying to close Mitchell.
00:04:59Luis Díaz.
00:05:00He hit hard.
00:05:03Costa Rica started with tension.
00:05:06This has just begun.
00:05:07But Colombia, I think, is realizing that the game can get complicated.
00:05:13There's been a foul now.
00:05:15John Arias' foul.
00:05:16Yes, John Arias' foul on Galo.
00:05:18Arias is...
00:05:19Usually he scores a little bit to the right.
00:05:21I think we're going to have another match.
00:05:24I have the feeling that Costa Rica is going to go to the limit.
00:05:31He tried to control Arias.
00:05:33He doesn't see Galo coming to his back.
00:05:37He ends up touching him at the height of the side.
00:05:41John Arias felt it.
00:05:43He was aware that he had reached that touch.
00:05:45But...
00:05:48We say it totally accidentally.
00:05:51Francisco Calvo plays for Laziter.
00:05:55He's a player who's been fighting in Montreal.
00:05:57He's about to steal Rios.
00:05:59Aguilera changed the direction of the game.
00:06:01But he gets back to Colombia and Mojica.
00:06:06He tries to put a little pause on Nestor Lorenzo's team.
00:06:09Against the push and the physical aggressiveness of Costa Rica.
00:06:13Luis Díaz.
00:06:14Excellent to connect with James.
00:06:16The opening to the right.
00:06:18Incorporation to the attack of Daniel Muñoz.
00:06:22Intervening in the middle of the field.
00:06:25John Arias holding Zamora.
00:06:28The ball to the right wing.
00:06:30Service to the area.
00:06:31Luis Díaz, who has arrived to surprise.
00:06:34In the first shot.
00:06:35He can't shoot between the three poles.
00:06:37But first great opportunity for the Colombian team.
00:06:40In that play.
00:06:41Ill-managed by the right wing.
00:06:43With that centre that ends up finishing off Luis Díaz.
00:06:46Yes, the centre of Rios that is contributing a lot to the team.
00:06:49This is a great moment for Palmeiras.
00:06:51It doesn't finish off well.
00:06:53But Luis Díaz does this a lot.
00:06:55Starting from the side to get inside.
00:06:57To finish off.
00:06:58To surprise.
00:06:59Luis Díaz.
00:07:00In fact, one of the famous goals of Brazil.
00:07:02In that game.
00:07:03That comeback.
00:07:04His two goals.
00:07:05It was head-to-head.
00:07:06And exactly in that moment.
00:07:07To surprise.
00:07:08Arriving inside.
00:07:09Watch out for the Colombian right wing.
00:07:11Because Muñoz is going to arrive there.
00:07:13And Rios is going to attack there too.
00:07:15Today Arias is playing a bit on the left.
00:07:17And Rios a bit on the right.
00:07:18In what is being the 4-3-1-2.
00:07:20Because, really.
00:07:21Luis Díaz very much inside.
00:07:23And James behind.
00:07:24Well, there he goes again Colombia.
00:07:26On his right side.
00:07:27James intervenes for Muñoz.
00:07:29Supporting Lerma.
00:07:30Jefferson Lerma.
00:07:31With John Arias.
00:07:32John Arias for Mojica.
00:07:34He starts to get the pulse.
00:07:36To the Colombian game.
00:07:37Mojica accelerates.
00:07:39Quiroz who also comes to make a tremendous defensive game.
00:07:42Mojica.
00:07:43Wanting to protect himself.
00:07:45In that duel with Quiroz.
00:07:47It hurts and twists now.
00:07:49Osasuna's footballer on the ground.
00:07:51I think he steps on him.
00:07:52I think he ends up stepping on him.
00:07:53I don't know if it's voluntary or not.
00:07:59And I think the foul is pointed out by Gustavo Tejera.
00:08:06Let's see the step.
00:08:09There.
00:08:10At that moment, yes.
00:08:12He had to do a lot of damage to Mojica there.
00:08:17Settled in the left wing of Colombia.
00:08:20The side.
00:08:21Very, very deep.
00:08:22Very offensive.
00:08:23A team that comes well through the bands.
00:08:25Colombia.
00:08:28I don't know.
00:08:29The player Tico who came there to protest.
00:08:31As if threatening the referee.
00:08:33With that gesture.
00:08:37Well, the game is stopped.
00:08:39The game on the pitch.
00:08:41Mojica is still on his feet.
00:08:45His gestures also towards his bench.
00:08:47Trying to explain himself.
00:08:48Surely Nestor Lorenzo.
00:08:52Realizing that today his rival, Costa Rica,
00:08:55with whom Colombia has met on many occasions
00:08:58in the final phases of the Copa América.
00:09:04He is one of the recurring rivals
00:09:06in recent times for Colombia.
00:09:08Both teams have met.
00:09:11And we saw that action repeated again.
00:09:13Where there was no doubt about the foul
00:09:15committed by Quiroz on Mojica.
00:09:20Fortunately, already restored.
00:09:22There goes James.
00:09:23Yes, to put it.
00:09:24He takes it all out.
00:09:25Ball stopped.
00:09:26James.
00:09:27From both sides.
00:09:28From the other side.
00:09:29He gave the pass.
00:09:30Ball stopped.
00:09:31From the 2-0 of Lerma.
00:09:32The other day.
00:09:33Against Paraguay.
00:09:34There is Lerma.
00:09:35Trying to find those options to score.
00:09:38Davinson Sánchez also.
00:09:40In that area of the pitch.
00:09:42The tension is maximum.
00:09:46Quiroz, who struggles not to take off from Lerma.
00:09:51And they are jumping sparks.
00:09:55We had the opportunity to comment on the game
00:09:57between Costa Rica and Brazil.
00:09:58And of course he did not have this profile.
00:10:00Let's see that throw by James.
00:10:02With the attempt of Davinson.
00:10:04Lerma's recovery.
00:10:05And that pass now from Ríos.
00:10:07Who is going to finish with the ball.
00:10:09Missing by the bottom line.
00:10:10Out of the goal.
00:10:11Therefore for Costa Rica.
00:10:13Who has done everything possible.
00:10:15To leave extremely uncomfortable.
00:10:18In the shot to the Colombian players.
00:10:20Who have tried it in this first situation.
00:10:22Ball stopped.
00:10:23With that center of James.
00:10:24It is interesting that we see the position of James.
00:10:26Rather, how it is changing position.
00:10:28Always in that position.
00:10:29Three quarters of the field.
00:10:30Right, left.
00:10:31Coming to the midfield base.
00:10:32Appears much closer to the area.
00:10:34It is a kind of all-camper, right?
00:10:36James.
00:10:37Very, very, very active permanently.
00:10:42They have gone straight out.
00:10:43That take from Patrick Sequeira.
00:10:46He tried to save it.
00:10:47Madrigal without luck at the end.
00:10:52And building from behind.
00:10:53Colombia again.
00:10:55With Mojica.
00:10:57Movements ahead of Luis Díaz.
00:11:00He also tried to offer himself to Lerma.
00:11:02The ball that ended up.
00:11:03Coming again to the area of coverage.
00:11:07Taking it calmly now.
00:11:08Colombia with Carlos Cuesta.
00:11:11Today we already say.
00:11:12One of the two novelties that has introduced.
00:11:14Néstor Lorenzo.
00:11:15In his eleven.
00:11:16While Davinson.
00:11:18Looks for the long pass.
00:11:19For John Cordoba.
00:11:20Calvo solved.
00:11:21The ball that returns again.
00:11:22For the Colombian central defender.
00:11:24Davinson Sánchez.
00:11:28Mojica.
00:11:32He is already waiting.
00:11:33With his line of five behind.
00:11:35Although Quiroz jumps.
00:11:36Very aware of Luis Díaz.
00:11:38By the way, he bittered Vinicius.
00:11:40It is true that.
00:11:42Quiroz always had the help of a partner.
00:11:44In those brands.
00:11:45Always two against one.
00:11:46But in the end.
00:11:47Quiroz.
00:11:48They stopped him.
00:11:49They stopped Vinicius well.
00:11:50He ended up changing it.
00:11:51Because he couldn't do anything in attack.
00:11:52Then we will see him.
00:11:53Then we have Brazil-Paraguay.
00:11:54Great game.
00:11:55With Brazil already very demanding.
00:11:56And Paraguay more.
00:11:57He lost against Colombia.
00:11:58Quiroz can be licensed today.
00:11:59If he is also able to stop Luis Díaz.
00:12:00Again.
00:12:01The game is lacking rhythm.
00:12:02We are seeing constant interruptions.
00:12:03Of course.
00:12:04It is stopping a lot.
00:12:05It is stopping a lot.
00:12:06It is stopping a lot.
00:12:07It is stopping a lot.
00:12:08It is stopping a lot.
00:12:09It is stopping a lot.
00:12:10It is stopping a lot.
00:12:11It is stopping a lot.
00:12:12It is stopping a lot.
00:12:13It is stopping a lot.
00:12:14It is stopping a lot.
00:12:16It's stopping a lot.
00:12:17Now it's Ungar Alder.
00:12:21escreveide que se queda en el suelo.
00:12:22Guardel, Spartak.
00:12:23Costa Rica is trying for the match
00:12:25not to have a good continuum.
00:12:28It is obvious they try.
00:12:32Having entered with a better energy
00:12:37with his first fight against Brazil.
00:12:42We'll see this shot in the direction of the area. It's too long, that pass from Lassiter.
00:12:53The left-back had changed his position to put the ball in play.
00:12:59It's too strong. It's passed, it's lost the line at the back.
00:13:02He'll take it from the goal to Colombia.
00:13:04We're on the road to the first quarter of an hour without too many chances.
00:13:09Luis Díaz's header was a bit of a semi-error.
00:13:12It was a fantastic pass from the other side.
00:13:15It was the only chance for Ríos from the right.
00:13:19The only chance that the game has given us at the moment.
00:13:23Luis Díaz playing with Arias.
00:13:26Arias is chased by Mitchell.
00:13:28He ends up linking with James.
00:13:30James raises his head and sees Ríos' pass from the inside.
00:13:33James, look at how he goes down to receive.
00:13:36He cuts inside Ríos to get to the edge of the box.
00:13:39Juan Pablo Vargas' header.
00:13:41Ríos is a top level player in Brazilian football.
00:13:44The Brazilian league is still being played.
00:13:46While the Copa América is being played here, the league is still being played.
00:13:49In fact, there was a match this weekend.
00:13:52I think there are even two matches right now in Brazil.
00:13:55And the MLS is also being played.
00:13:57Even though there's the Copa América.
00:14:00Muñoz left Córdoba behind for Ríos.
00:14:03He changes the direction of the game.
00:14:05He picks up the ball from Arias.
00:14:07He wants to give the Colombian team a chance to continue their game.
00:14:10Mojica.
00:14:11Mojica.
00:14:12James.
00:14:13James.
00:14:14The ball has escaped him.
00:14:16It was just in front of the goal.
00:14:19The ball goes to Costa Rica.
00:14:21Luis Díaz comes out.
00:14:23It's unbalanced by Ugalde.
00:14:26He's also a very physical striker.
00:14:29He's constantly on the attack.
00:14:32They have to defend here.
00:14:37Zamora, a few meters behind.
00:14:39Ugalde is playing more as a striker.
00:14:41Yes, Ugalde, like the other day.
00:14:42Zamora was the main reference.
00:14:44But it's Ugalde.
00:14:46To his left is Madrigal.
00:14:48To his right, Zamora.
00:14:50With Galo and Aguilera.
00:14:53In the midfield position.
00:14:54And with a line of five.
00:14:57He takes it from above.
00:14:58Michel.
00:15:02And it's back to Colombia.
00:15:07Mojica.
00:15:08Lerma.
00:15:11And the ball goes to James.
00:15:12Constantly going down.
00:15:14Always going down to receive.
00:15:16To the midfield.
00:15:18Changing sides.
00:15:20James tries to be a bit of a partner for everyone.
00:15:22Muñoz towards John Cordoba.
00:15:24John Cordoba tries to surprise Calvo.
00:15:26He takes the ball to Cordoba.
00:15:28He's finally put his foot in.
00:15:30It was too soft.
00:15:31Now, in this situation,
00:15:33the Costa Rican team
00:15:35doesn't usually
00:15:37have that kind of fragility.
00:15:39But the power of John Cordoba
00:15:41has done the rest.
00:15:43And practically, his pass could have come
00:15:45in the first goal of the game.
00:15:47Arias.
00:15:48To James.
00:15:49James with Mojica.
00:15:51He's slowly managing the ball
00:15:53in the area where
00:15:55Colombia needs to manage it.
00:15:57Opening up the field a lot
00:15:59with the wingers.
00:16:01I don't know, maybe Costa Rica can hold on.
00:16:03But for another 0-0,
00:16:05I think it's very difficult.
00:16:07Calvo's clearance.
00:16:08There's John Cordoba.
00:16:10Probably regretting that action.
00:16:12The one who wins the game,
00:16:14I was saying Calvo, no.
00:16:15Juan Pablo Vargas wins the game.
00:16:17Vargas eats the ball.
00:16:18He eats the ball.
00:16:19The millionaire player.
00:16:21Exactly.
00:16:22Who plays in Colombia.
00:16:23Juan Colombia, yes.
00:16:24Juan Colombia Vargas.
00:16:25The one who stood out in the press conference,
00:16:27his own coach, Gustavo Alfaro.
00:16:29It's been a very historic
00:16:31end of the season in Colombia
00:16:33because he's won the league,
00:16:35the Bucaramanga.
00:16:36It's the first time he's won it in history.
00:16:38I even think
00:16:40it was...
00:16:41This is Lukumi.
00:16:42He's injured.
00:16:43I even think
00:16:45it was the first time he qualified
00:16:47for the final league.
00:16:48And he ended up winning the title.
00:16:50For the final quadrangles.
00:16:55A success like that
00:16:57to not forget, of course.
00:16:59One of those seasons,
00:17:01one of those historic seasons
00:17:03that from time to time,
00:17:05very from time to time,
00:17:07happens even in the most powerful leagues.
00:17:09And now I'm remembering perfectly
00:17:11about Leicester when he won
00:17:13a few seasons ago in the Premier League.
00:17:15Davinson
00:17:17fought Hugalde.
00:17:19It's hard for him to beat Colombia
00:17:21every metre in the game because...
00:17:23Hugalde always goes forward.
00:17:25He goes for everything.
00:17:27Tejera starts to cut
00:17:29this situation short.
00:17:31Hugalde takes the lead.
00:17:33If it's not the game,
00:17:35it's going to go hand-in-hand.
00:17:37The game is very tense.
00:17:39And yellow card.
00:17:43There we see Sintar
00:17:45losing that ball,
00:17:47but forcing it again in the clash,
00:17:49leaving his foot,
00:17:51it's very clear.
00:17:53Gustavo Tejera, Uruguayan
00:17:55who obviously
00:17:57wants to slow down
00:17:59this feeling that for a moment
00:18:01is leaving us the game.
00:18:03Being extremely physical,
00:18:05with a lot of friction
00:18:07and that was also
00:18:09causing the game to slow down too much
00:18:15when Colombia advances again.
00:18:17It's hard to find James there,
00:18:19to find Rios.
00:18:21Lerma, as we can see,
00:18:23very marked by Zamora.
00:18:25And that natural exit
00:18:27for Colombia
00:18:29is making it hard
00:18:31for Costa Rica's tactical disposition.
00:18:33Costa Rica's job
00:18:35is not to play Colombia.
00:18:37Gustavo Alfaro would have insisted
00:18:39that he can't combine
00:18:41Colombia's speed,
00:18:43otherwise it will end up
00:18:45creating a lot of danger.
00:18:47Costa Rica.
00:18:49There was only one chance,
00:18:51Luis Díaz's high shot.
00:18:53Now the ball has escaped
00:18:55to Michel.
00:18:57He slipped the ball,
00:18:59it went straight out.
00:19:03I can't repeat it
00:19:05because the ball didn't
00:19:07get into the field.
00:19:13Now it's Michel's turn.
00:19:15Again, it's Michel.
00:19:17Davinson Sánchez jumped,
00:19:19Rios touched.
00:19:21It was too strong for Cordoba
00:19:23to have the chance
00:19:25to pass the midfielder.
00:19:29It's a reality that
00:19:31Colombia is the team they want to propose,
00:19:33but also
00:19:35the feeling that
00:19:37it's hard for them to
00:19:39make that series of passes,
00:19:41to have a certain fluidity.
00:19:43Costa Rica took the lead
00:19:45in the first minutes
00:19:47of the duel.
00:19:49They aimed it
00:19:51at a very physical character,
00:19:53but it's hard for Julio
00:19:55in Colombia too.
00:19:57Once he has the ball,
00:19:59he gets stuck in the back.
00:20:01It's hard for him
00:20:03to step on the ball
00:20:05and take it to the midfielders.
00:20:07It's hard, yes.
00:20:09Michel is a very interesting player.
00:20:11He's been with the national team
00:20:13since his debut in the first division.
00:20:15The other day,
00:20:17he caused a sensation against Brazil.
00:20:19If he does something similar against Colombia today,
00:20:21we have the big revelation of the Copa América.
00:20:23Luis Díaz has let that ball pass.
00:20:25He wins the race.
00:20:27Michel plays backwards.
00:20:29James can score.
00:20:31What a save by Sequeira,
00:20:33who starts to leave details
00:20:35that we had the opportunity
00:20:37to see in the game against Brazil.
00:20:39James has just denied him the goal.
00:20:41Luis Díaz was very smart
00:20:43in that play.
00:20:45He let the ball pass,
00:20:47surprising Michel.
00:20:49James does it well.
00:20:51He raises his head.
00:20:53Sequeira is fantastic.
00:20:55James does it well.
00:20:57He has a fantastic shot.
00:20:59Sequeira is also
00:21:01a common thing
00:21:03in this Copa América.
00:21:05Let's see how far Costa Rica can go.
00:21:07It's the first intervention.
00:21:09What a save by Sequeira.
00:21:13It's 21-21.
00:21:15Colombia are on the attack.
00:21:17They're on the attack.
00:21:19They couldn't reach the ball.
00:21:21Mojica is there.
00:21:23Luis Díaz with James.
00:21:25James is there.
00:21:27He passes to Michel.
00:21:29The ball is again for
00:21:31Nestor Lorenzo's team.
00:21:33It has to be repeated.
00:21:35Another side-kick.
00:21:39It looks like
00:21:41he didn't put the ball
00:21:43in the right spot.
00:21:45Mojica.
00:21:51He sends it back to Lerma.
00:21:53Mojica again.
00:21:55Madrigal presses.
00:21:57It's a foul.
00:21:59Costa Rica's players
00:22:01are waiting.
00:22:03If it had been a foul,
00:22:05it could have been a good counter.
00:22:07But of course.
00:22:09Mojica.
00:22:11He lifts his head.
00:22:13It's a great save.
00:22:15It's true that
00:22:17a lot of people recommend
00:22:19a passing line.
00:22:21But James has to shoot from there.
00:22:23A player with his talent,
00:22:25his quality and his ability
00:22:27to put the ball where he wants.
00:22:29We have to give
00:22:31credit to Costa Rica's goalkeepers.
00:22:33They did a great job
00:22:35to avoid what could have been
00:22:37the first goal of the match.
00:22:39It's a chance for Colombia.
00:22:41There are the frictions.
00:22:47James hits
00:22:49with delicacy.
00:22:51The ball goes to the second post
00:22:53where Davinson Sánchez came from.
00:22:55How does James put the ball?
00:22:57The Colombian strikers
00:22:59did a great job.
00:23:01It's a perfect pass.
00:23:03There's enough tension
00:23:05for the goalkeepers
00:23:07to have the option
00:23:09to take advantage of the service.
00:23:11The ball is strong enough
00:23:13to make the header
00:23:15very powerful.
00:23:17It's a perfect ball.
00:23:19Lerma took advantage of it.
00:23:23Calvo put the ball in motion.
00:23:25Muñoz deflected it.
00:23:27John Córdova
00:23:29has it now
00:23:31with Calvo.
00:23:33Costa Rica's midfielder
00:23:35can't avoid the corner kick
00:23:37even though he saw
00:23:39the play the other way round.
00:23:43What a concentration.
00:23:45It's scary.
00:23:47An incredible look.
00:23:49A look
00:23:51of character
00:23:53and competitiveness.
00:23:55What a chance for Córdova.
00:23:57He came on his own.
00:23:59He was on his own
00:24:01but he hit the ball badly.
00:24:03He was very close.
00:24:05He finished in the small area.
00:24:07We'll see it again.
00:24:09He's ahead of his defender
00:24:11but he didn't finish well.
00:24:13What a ball by James.
00:24:15What a quality.
00:24:17James is spectacular.
00:24:19He can't miss the ball.
00:24:21He's playing in Russia,
00:24:23in Krasnodar.
00:24:25John Córdova.
00:24:29Colombia have generated
00:24:31a couple of very important chances
00:24:33in the last five minutes.
00:24:35They've shown
00:24:37that they have a lot of strength
00:24:39to do damage
00:24:41if the game gets stuck.
00:24:43Colombia are going to
00:24:45use this type of strategy.
00:24:47I think it was James
00:24:49No, it was Ríos.
00:24:51Ríos stopped the game.
00:24:55There's no way
00:24:57that the duel
00:24:59is going to happen.
00:25:01Now there's another contact
00:25:03in the field.
00:25:05Let's see what happened.
00:25:07Colombia are dominating.
00:25:09This team has
00:25:11a lot of resources.
00:25:13They have a lot of resources
00:25:15on the sidelines,
00:25:17James can put the ball
00:25:19on the sidelines.
00:25:21It's very difficult for Costa Rica
00:25:23to hold on,
00:25:25but for now
00:25:27the team is strong.
00:25:29Costa Rica
00:25:31are in the quarterfinals
00:25:33of the World Cup in Brazil
00:25:35and lost by penalties
00:25:37to Holland.
00:25:39Costa Rica are very close
00:25:41to the semifinals of the World Cup.
00:25:47They've played four games
00:25:49without losing.
00:25:59In the Copa América
00:26:01they've reached the quarterfinals
00:26:03twice, the last time in 2004.
00:26:07They've started
00:26:09with a draw against Brazil
00:26:11and for now
00:26:13they're one minute away
00:26:15from a draw against Colombia.
00:26:17They've been very close
00:26:19to the team of Néstor Lorenzo
00:26:21in a couple of situations.
00:26:23Claras, a shot from Luis Díaz,
00:26:25a shot from James,
00:26:27that last corner
00:26:29that didn't go in.
00:26:31John Cordova leads between the three poles.
00:26:33Colombia have had
00:26:35enough situations
00:26:37to get
00:26:39a more positive result.
00:26:41There's Mitchell.
00:26:43A very long shot.
00:26:45Ríos tried it.
00:26:47Lassiter now from outside the box.
00:26:49A play that will end
00:26:51in a corner shot.
00:26:53The ball is always equal.
00:26:55Here we know
00:26:57that football goes one way
00:26:59and the ball goes the other.
00:27:01We'll see if Costa Rica
00:27:03can take advantage of it.
00:27:05They won't have many more chances.
00:27:09Lassiter himself,
00:27:11after that last shot,
00:27:13has put the ball into play.
00:27:15Costa Rica have five men
00:27:17in the box.
00:27:19There's another one
00:27:21at the top of the box.
00:27:23Calvo, Vargas,
00:27:25Lassiter.
00:27:27The ball doesn't go out of the box
00:27:29and it's a shot that ends outside.
00:27:31Madrigal just
00:27:33gave Colombia a scare.
00:27:35The ball was rejected.
00:27:37It was very difficult.
00:27:39He had an opponent in front of him.
00:27:41It was very difficult
00:27:43to play in such a hurry.
00:27:47They shook hands,
00:27:49but once they saw the repetition,
00:27:51the ball went quite far from the goal.
00:27:53He closed it.
00:27:55He probably denied him
00:27:57the chance to have a better shot.
00:27:59He was well above him.
00:28:01Costa Rica's attempt
00:28:03after that corner.
00:28:05Muñoz in depth for Córdoba.
00:28:07Penalty.
00:28:09Sequeira's mistake.
00:28:11He got to an area
00:28:13where he didn't have an advantage.
00:28:15I think it was a shot
00:28:17on Córdoba.
00:28:19I think it was a penalty.
00:28:21It was an absurd penalty.
00:28:23Sequeira made a very serious mistake.
00:28:25He was doing an excellent Copa América.
00:28:27Let's see the repetition.
00:28:29If there's no penalty,
00:28:31VAR will ask the referee
00:28:33to see it.
00:28:35I think it was inside.
00:28:37I think it was inside,
00:28:39and I think he ran him over.
00:28:41Muñoz's pass, Córdoba's run.
00:28:43It was inside for sure.
00:28:45I think it was a penalty.
00:28:49I think it was.
00:28:51It was totally unnecessary
00:28:53for Sequeira's action.
00:28:57Where was Sequeira going?
00:28:59That ball was relatively
00:29:01controlled by a central defender
00:29:03and Córdoba's run.
00:29:05It was a very serious mistake.
00:29:07Very serious.
00:29:09I don't think it was a penalty.
00:29:11It won't change anything.
00:29:15They shouldn't have
00:29:17warned the referee.
00:29:19The last shot was very clear.
00:29:21He saw it live.
00:29:23The contact
00:29:25was inside the area.
00:29:27Gustavo Alfaro is aware
00:29:29that the team made
00:29:31a childish mistake.
00:29:35It was totally
00:29:37unnecessary.
00:29:39Much less the contact
00:29:41with Córdoba.
00:29:43He was able to run
00:29:45behind the defender
00:29:47and win the game.
00:29:49With his power.
00:29:51James will go.
00:29:53He scored twice.
00:29:55He can score his first goal
00:29:57in the Copa América.
00:29:59James Rodríguez
00:30:05with high expectations
00:30:07to see how
00:30:09the penalty
00:30:11against Colombia ends.
00:30:13The initiative in the goal
00:30:15at the end of the first half.
00:30:19Sequeira's position is slowing down.
00:30:21Luis Díaz is going.
00:30:23He had the ball.
00:30:25It was James' ball.
00:30:27Luis Díaz has the ball.
00:30:31Liverpool's player
00:30:33will try
00:30:35to turn this penalty
00:30:37into a goal.
00:30:39Patrick Sequeira
00:30:41is on the line.
00:30:43Luis Díaz
00:30:45has the ball.
00:30:47It's in.
00:30:49It's in.
00:30:51Nothing to do
00:30:53for Costa Rica.
00:30:55Colombia is ahead
00:30:57in this game.
00:30:59Nestor Lorenzo's team
00:31:01dominates the game.
00:31:03Luis Díaz scored.
00:31:05It was a mistake.
00:31:07Sequeira made a mistake.
00:31:09He was the goalkeeper
00:31:11of the championship.
00:31:13It was a big mistake.
00:31:15Luis Díaz
00:31:17is ahead of Colombia.
00:31:19Colombia is better.
00:31:21There's no doubt.
00:31:23There's no danger.
00:31:25Luis Díaz's shot
00:31:27was perfect.
00:31:29Colombia
00:31:31has to be the first team
00:31:33to avoid Uruguay.
00:31:35This result
00:31:37doesn't guarantee
00:31:39the first position.
00:31:41If Brazil wins,
00:31:43it would be enough
00:31:45to tie the game.
00:31:47That's what Colombia
00:31:49wants to do.
00:31:51Luis Díaz
00:31:53is perfect.
00:31:55He's asking for
00:31:57concentration, energy
00:31:59and character.
00:32:01He scores his first goal
00:32:03for Costa Rica.
00:32:05It was perfectly
00:32:07avoided.
00:32:09Let's see if Costa Rica
00:32:11has a plan B
00:32:13or if they can do something different.
00:32:15Galo tries it
00:32:17from outside the box.
00:32:19He's a good midfielder.
00:32:21He's from Erediano.
00:32:27He's gone very high.
00:32:29That ball
00:32:31was very light.
00:32:33It went
00:32:35over the goal
00:32:37of Camilo Vargas.
00:32:39We haven't seen that in the game.
00:32:41It's a first
00:32:43after 32 minutes.
00:32:45Colombia
00:32:47is showing
00:32:49what you said, Julio.
00:32:51They have a great
00:32:53amount of resources.
00:32:55They're adapting well
00:32:57to a game that
00:32:59is being played from a physical point of view.
00:33:01They're not
00:33:03avoiding
00:33:05that aggressive
00:33:07style of play.
00:33:09That's a good triangulation
00:33:11for Ríos.
00:33:13A defender.
00:33:15I think it was Vargas who
00:33:17turned it into a corner kick.
00:33:19It was fantastic.
00:33:21Colombia is a very vertical team.
00:33:23It has nothing to do with the Colombian national team
00:33:25that we saw in the 80s and 90s.
00:33:27They were a team that
00:33:29had a lot of ball, but lacked
00:33:31verticality.
00:33:33They have players
00:33:35like Luis Díaz.
00:33:37Davidson
00:33:39is full of ball
00:33:41and he shoots.
00:33:43The shot
00:33:45goes over the goal.
00:33:47It's a problem
00:33:49for Costa Rica.
00:33:51Lerma jumps
00:33:53and scores.
00:33:55Davidson
00:33:57was about to score.
00:33:59It's
00:34:01a tremendous
00:34:03option.
00:34:05Colombia doesn't lower the bar.
00:34:07Costa Rica
00:34:09is trying to defend
00:34:11aggressively.
00:34:13There's a moment
00:34:15when you don't make it.
00:34:17No matter how hard you try.
00:34:19Colombians are technically superior.
00:34:23The ball goes over
00:34:25Mojica's head.
00:34:27Luis Díaz tried to
00:34:29pass it to Lerma.
00:34:31No, to Arias.
00:34:35The ball goes over.
00:34:37Munoz's ball
00:34:39goes back.
00:34:41Camilo Vargas
00:34:43takes the ball away.
00:34:45Costa Rica
00:34:47have Aguilera.
00:34:49He loses the ball
00:34:51because he's been caught.
00:34:53It's John Cordoba.
00:34:59He makes him trip.
00:35:01Brandon Aguilera
00:35:03has the ball.
00:35:07Costa Rica
00:35:09have no choice.
00:35:11They have to go forward.
00:35:13At least in this kind of situation
00:35:15they have to bet hard.
00:35:17They have to
00:35:19make the most of
00:35:21equal chances.
00:35:23Lassiter
00:35:25at the start.
00:35:27He wants to avoid Mojica.
00:35:29There's
00:35:31a situation
00:35:33offside.
00:35:3535 for Colombia
00:35:37in the first half.
00:35:47It went in from behind.
00:35:49It wasn't a bad idea
00:35:51from Costa Rica.
00:35:53But it went
00:35:55in the wrong position.
00:35:57One of the three central defenders
00:35:59of the team, Tico.
00:36:05It looks like
00:36:07the ball
00:36:09is going to be for Colombia.
00:36:11The ball
00:36:13is going to be for Colombia.
00:36:15It's a fight between Juan Pablo Vargas
00:36:17and Luis Diaz.
00:36:19It looks like
00:36:21Vargas has the ball.
00:36:23We see Mojica's pass.
00:36:25Yes.
00:36:27He hit the ball.
00:36:29I don't know where
00:36:31Vargas is at the moment.
00:36:35It looks like the ball is
00:36:37offside.
00:36:39It's not for a shot.
00:36:41He can hit it from James.
00:36:43But it's more difficult
00:36:45for a left-footed player.
00:36:49It's going to go in.
00:36:51It's going to go in.
00:36:57It's 4-4.
00:36:59Sequeira is putting
00:37:01his teammates
00:37:03in a defensive position.
00:37:07He's very close to the ball.
00:37:09He could be
00:37:11the star.
00:37:13He's right-footed.
00:37:15He's looking for the goal
00:37:17from Costa Rica.
00:37:21He's concentrating.
00:37:23Finally, James!
00:37:25Luis Diaz's shot!
00:37:27It's incredible
00:37:29that the ball didn't go in.
00:37:31Again, James' center
00:37:33is spectacular.
00:37:35James has a left foot.
00:37:37It's a delight to see him.
00:37:39Sensational.
00:37:41I think he's a bit ahead.
00:37:43I have my doubts, Julio.
00:37:45Very fair.
00:37:51James is important in the game
00:37:53and in the free-kick
00:37:55in Colombia.
00:37:57We've been saying
00:37:59that a free-kick is a problem
00:38:01for Costa Rica.
00:38:03Colombia isn't playing
00:38:05in these kinds of situations.
00:38:07But the danger
00:38:09that the free-kick
00:38:11is creating in the game
00:38:13is very high.
00:38:15Mojica plays.
00:38:17James' ball
00:38:19again for Mojica.
00:38:21Coca Costa.
00:38:23Davinson Sanchez.
00:38:25It's a moment
00:38:27in Colombia
00:38:29in which their fans
00:38:31are cheering.
00:38:33Costa Rica
00:38:35are still
00:38:37in their own
00:38:39playing area.
00:38:41Gustavo Alfaro
00:38:43was trying to
00:38:45force Rios
00:38:47to delay the ball
00:38:49towards Camilo Vargas.
00:38:51It's an invitation
00:38:53from Colombia to Costa Rica
00:38:55so that Rios can find
00:38:57a bit more space.
00:38:59Mojica finishes on the floor
00:39:01with a header.
00:39:03He's one of the most damaged
00:39:05in this first half.
00:39:07He's been involved
00:39:09in a lot of plays
00:39:11with a lot of friction.

00:52:13Let's see the replay.
00:52:15Let's see the replay.
00:52:17Let's see the replay.
00:52:47That ball was aimed to the right.
00:52:49John Cordova arrived there,
00:52:51preventing the ball from being lost.
00:52:55Vargas cleared it.
00:52:57Campbell,
00:52:59who already had minutes the other day against Brazil,
00:53:01although he came in
00:53:03in the middle of the second half.
00:53:05Muñoz resolves it now.
00:53:09Moura.
00:53:11In that demarcation,
00:53:13like a lane on the left,
00:53:15Campbell turned.
00:53:17Zamora didn't make it.
00:53:19Muñoz cut it down,
00:53:21but Campbell gets it back to Costa Rica.
00:53:23Vargas.
00:53:25Vargas ends up falling back to Sequeira.
00:53:29Muñoz, the Cristal Palace player,
00:53:31on the wing.
00:53:33John Cordova is playing a great game.
00:53:35I liked it a lot.
00:53:37The striker forced the penalty
00:53:39with a lot of mobility,
00:53:41looking for the ball in depth.
00:53:43It was a nightmare
00:53:45for Costa Rica's midfielders.
00:53:51Now, after Dugal's run,
00:53:53I get the feeling it's Zamora.
00:53:55Zamora is a bit higher,
00:53:57while Campbell is on the right.
00:53:59It's a second point,
00:54:01as he's only for a few minutes
00:54:03in Costa Rica's team.
00:54:05He's been an emblem for so many years.
00:54:07Now, don't let them leave him
00:54:09a couple of yards.
00:54:11He's played for Betis,
00:54:13Villarreal...
00:54:19Campbell can't keep up
00:54:21that effort for 90 minutes.
00:54:23Gustavo Alfaro must have
00:54:25had to score early in this game.
00:54:27He's been in Mexican football
00:54:29for a few years,
00:54:31scoring very few goals.
00:54:33He's scored 13 in La Juelen.
00:54:35Costa Rica's league is another level,
00:54:37but he's got his 13 goals
00:54:39in Costa Rica.
00:54:45Now,
00:54:47Lerma's ball
00:54:49goes straight out.
00:54:51Francisco Calvo
00:54:53is playing
00:54:55in the Mexican Juarez.
00:54:59Let's see Quiroz's run.
00:55:01What a way to speed up
00:55:03Quiroz to win
00:55:05the situation
00:55:07Campbell
00:55:09also stole
00:55:11the ball from Mojica.
00:55:13What a foul.
00:55:17And the ball
00:55:19goes to Colombia.
00:55:27Campbell
00:55:29doesn't agree
00:55:31with the last
00:55:33referee's decision.
00:55:35Meanwhile,
00:55:37Cuesta is on his way
00:55:39to Vargas.
00:55:43We can see
00:55:45Campbell at the start of the second half.
00:55:47He knows he has to
00:55:49get the ball
00:55:51and if he can
00:55:53get the ball,
00:55:55he'll try
00:55:57to show
00:55:59the player
00:56:01that he can
00:56:03score a decisive goal.
00:56:07Mitchell has already
00:56:09created a very powerful
00:56:11side-kick.
00:56:13It's a tense
00:56:15and not very high kick.
00:56:17He managed to reject Mojica.
00:56:19There's Mora,
00:56:21the other one with Campbell
00:56:23at the start of the second half.
00:56:29Costa Rica
00:56:31is trying
00:56:33to play in the Colombian
00:56:35field, but this will give
00:56:37a chance to Jon Cordoba,
00:56:39who has the chance to play
00:56:41to Luis Díaz.
00:56:43He cuts it.
00:56:45Luis Díaz
00:56:47holds it.
00:56:49He gets it
00:56:51in defence.
00:56:53Again, Jon Cordoba
00:56:55has done it perfectly,
00:56:57holding the ball and passing.
00:56:59Luis Díaz has
00:57:01finished the game.
00:57:03He thought he could cheat
00:57:05and leave Costa Rica
00:57:07out of the game
00:57:09with that series of cuts.
00:57:11He did it with Quiroz, but not with Galo.
00:57:13He ended up
00:57:15doing it wrong, but
00:57:17Jon Cordoba is clearly winning
00:57:19against Santos Borregui.
00:57:21The other day, he wasn't
00:57:23at the level he was playing,
00:57:25but he's not at the level
00:57:27he was playing.
00:57:29This is the risk
00:57:31that Costa Rica has to take
00:57:33if they put the team up
00:57:35with players like Luis Díaz.
00:57:37With how good Jon Cordoba
00:57:39is today,
00:57:41he's going to suffer.
00:57:43He took out the centre.
00:57:45He had the option.
00:57:47Quiroz holds it well.
00:57:49He doesn't lose sight of Luis Díaz,
00:57:51but Galo blocked
00:57:53Liverpool's player's shot.
00:57:55It was James
00:57:57who appeared in the area.
00:58:01Colombia
00:58:03wakes up after those minutes
00:58:05where Costa Rica
00:58:07tried to play
00:58:09much closer to Camilo Vargas' goal.
00:58:15A bit frustrating
00:58:17for Costa Rica.
00:58:19This is football,
00:58:21but the goal came
00:58:23as it came.
00:58:25The opponent is superior,
00:58:27but the goal was your mistake.
00:58:29That's true.
00:58:31But no one can
00:58:33dispute Colombia's superiority
00:58:35at the moment.
00:58:37They stole that ball from Muñoz.
00:58:39Zamora persevered
00:58:41for that ball.
00:58:43Uribe was there too.
00:58:45Juan was on the ground.
00:58:47It was Madrigal
00:58:49who was on the ground.
00:58:51Calvo
00:58:53was on the ground
00:58:55with Vargas.
00:58:57Madrigal was on the ground
00:58:59in Costa Rica's
00:59:01previous attack.
00:59:03The truth is
00:59:05that both teams
00:59:07were on the ground.
00:59:13Zamora persevered.
00:59:15Aguilera was on the ground
00:59:17with Campbell.
00:59:19The truth is
00:59:21that in football
00:59:23there's a lot of distance
00:59:25between Colombia and Costa Rica,
00:59:27but from a competitive point of view
00:59:29there's not that much.
00:59:31Costa Rica
00:59:33is still in the game.
00:59:35They're very close to the game.
00:59:37They'll go higher
00:59:39at some point.
00:59:41They've been playing higher
00:59:43than against Brazil
00:59:45since the first moment.
00:59:47That's right.
00:59:49Zamora was looking for it.
00:59:51The opponent they're up against
00:59:53is a very high-level opponent.
00:59:55Aguilera was there.
00:59:57He beat Uribe.
00:59:59He played with Gallo.
01:00:01Campbell intervened.
01:00:03Campbell wanted to get over
01:00:05that line where there was barely
01:00:07any space between Arias and James.
01:00:09He was the last one to pass
01:00:11to John Cordova,
01:00:13who had the chance to
01:00:15pass to Juan Pablo Vargas.
01:00:17He held on.
01:00:19He kept his position,
01:00:21stretched his leg and avoided
01:00:23that last chance that
01:00:25John Cordova could pass to him.
01:00:31Cordova is enjoying
01:00:33this game
01:00:35with those runs
01:00:37in which
01:00:39he must create panic
01:00:41and confusion
01:00:44Campbell
01:00:46is much more behind
01:00:48at the base of the game.
01:00:50He passes the ball to Moura.
01:00:52Campbell is going to do everything.
01:00:56He's going to try to be
01:00:58where his team needs him the most.
01:01:00Let's see if Gallo can hold on
01:01:02physically.
01:01:04Davinson left him with
01:01:06few options,
01:01:08although Gallo tried to
01:01:10use them.
01:01:13Mojica.
01:01:15Here's Quiroz
01:01:17trying to get over Mojica.
01:01:19It's not an easy task
01:01:21for the Colombian players.
01:01:23Luis Díaz,
01:01:25what a save!
01:01:27Arias
01:01:29wanted to connect
01:01:31with James.
01:01:33A good pass
01:01:35and it was almost a goal.
01:01:37James is in control
01:01:39and John Cordova is up front.
01:01:41Colombia's numerical superiority
01:01:43was clear.
01:01:49Calvo
01:01:51to Vargas.
01:01:53Good pass
01:01:55with that 4-3-3 to Colombia.
01:01:57That 4-3-3
01:01:59in a defensive position.
01:02:01Calvo is in control.
01:02:05Ball for
01:02:07Néstor Lorenzo.
01:02:11Muñoz.
01:02:15He's proving to Colombia
01:02:17why he's won 24 games
01:02:19without losing.
01:02:21Muñoz in the middle.
01:02:23Aguilera
01:02:25doing well.
01:02:27He was in contact with Calvo
01:02:29but he passed the ball
01:02:31to Lerma.
01:02:33A foul.
01:02:35Zamora's foul.
01:02:37We'll see
01:02:39if there's anything else.
01:02:41James on the ground.
01:02:43A good pass from James
01:02:45to the area.
01:02:47A shot to the chest
01:02:49by James.
01:02:53There.
01:02:55It doesn't look like much.
01:02:57Many players exaggerate.
01:02:59We've seen it in many moments.
01:03:01Many moments.
01:03:07There's an action
01:03:09where there's a contact
01:03:11where it's possible
01:03:13to miss.
01:03:15It's exaggerated.
01:03:21James is ready.
01:03:25Muñoz, stealthily,
01:03:27with options to receive.
01:03:29Another dangerous ball.
01:03:31There's not only quality
01:03:33in James' shot.
01:03:35There's not only a shot and a shot
01:03:37in his teammates.
01:03:39There's a lot of faith.
01:03:41You know he's going to
01:03:43give you an almost definitive ball.
01:03:45This ball is sensational.
01:03:47They're good shots.
01:03:49They're plays
01:03:51where James wants them.
01:03:53They come from behind
01:03:55the Colombian strikers.
01:03:57There's the shot.
01:03:59The second one for Colombia.
01:04:01In that shot,
01:04:03he was looking for the ball
01:04:05throughout the match.
01:04:07He'd caressed the ball twice.
01:04:09Now,
01:04:11after that corner,
01:04:13with a header that wasn't easy.
01:04:15I think he had to
01:04:17go back a bit
01:04:19and turn his head.
01:04:21Davinson celebrates
01:04:23what is almost
01:04:25the taste of victory.
01:04:27The match is practically over
01:04:29for Tico's team.
01:04:31We have a shot.
01:04:33There's Lukumi.
01:04:37The perfect finish.
01:04:39Let's see the ball.
01:04:41This time it wasn't James.
01:04:43He has to step back a bit.
01:04:45The header is magnificent.
01:04:47James didn't have time
01:04:49to get the corner.
01:04:51The header is magnificent.
01:04:53Perfect.
01:04:55The Colombian national team
01:04:57is so powerful in so many aspects.
01:04:59One of them is the free kick.
01:05:01They have strong central defenders.
01:05:03They play very well,
01:05:05especially James,
01:05:07even though it wasn't the goal.
01:05:09The second free kick goal
01:05:11for Colombia.
01:05:13The second for Paraguay
01:05:15and the second for Costa Rica.
01:05:17Colombia is going for something big.
01:05:192-0.
01:05:21That detail
01:05:23was magnificent
01:05:25by Davinson Sánchez.
01:05:27Lukumi's free kick.
01:05:29The reaction of the injured player.
01:05:31Everything is going well
01:05:33in Colombia.
01:05:352-0 in the scoring.
01:05:37If Costa Rica was pressing
01:05:39Colombia,
01:05:41UD didn't have
01:05:43the capacity
01:05:45to hold out
01:05:47in a match as physical as this.
01:05:49They have,
01:05:51apart from a lot of talent,
01:05:53very powerful players.
01:05:55Ball stopped.
01:05:57And the ball
01:05:59in play.
01:06:01It's time to play.
01:06:03Colombia
01:06:05with 6 points.
01:06:07They are already in the table,
01:06:09but we insist,
01:06:11the first position is not guaranteed.
01:06:13We can
01:06:15be a bit more clear.
01:06:17At the end of the match,
01:06:19at 3pm,
01:06:21Spanish time,
01:06:23Brazil and Paraguay.
01:06:25But maybe
01:06:27that first position is not decided.
01:06:29If Brazil wins,
01:06:31Colombia will draw,
01:06:33but they need to draw.
01:06:35If Brazil wins,
01:06:37Colombia will be the first.
01:06:39And the prize is to play
01:06:41against Panama or Uruguay.
01:06:43The prize is huge.
01:06:45Vargas
01:06:47for Sequeira.
01:06:49There goes Cuesta
01:06:51looking for
01:06:53Costa Rica's striker.
01:06:55Zamora was looking for the pass.
01:06:57But there's a lot of tension
01:06:59in Colombia.
01:07:01Davidson-Sanchez
01:07:03for Cordoba.
01:07:05And the third for Colombia.
01:07:07The arrival of power
01:07:09and definition
01:07:11by the Colombian striker.
01:07:13The team is celebrating
01:07:15the third goal.
01:07:17And Colombia
01:07:19has won this match.
01:07:21Davidson-Sanchez
01:07:23has taken the responsibility
01:07:25to get the ball
01:07:27from behind.
01:07:29Then there was a pass
01:07:31that left Cordoba
01:07:33with a clear chance of winning.
01:07:35He did a great job.
01:07:37What he didn't do well
01:07:39was to take the yellow card.
01:07:41It was a mistake.
01:07:43I think it was Luis Díaz's pass.
01:07:45There's no offside.
01:07:47I think it was James.
01:07:49James with the right foot.
01:07:51And then there was
01:07:53John Cordoba who was
01:07:55doing a great job.
01:07:57He deserved to be
01:07:59the starting XI
01:08:01in the decisive match
01:08:03on the third day.
01:08:05And then there was
01:08:07Sequeira's shot.
01:08:09He made a mistake
01:08:11against Brazil.
01:08:13The yellow card
01:08:15for Cordoba.
01:08:17What a pass from James
01:08:19with the right foot.
01:08:21It was spectacular.
01:08:23James has been at an
01:08:25excellent level.
01:08:27It was sensational.
01:08:29With this assist,
01:08:31I read a statistic.
01:08:33Since James Rodriguez
01:08:35debuted in the Copa América
01:08:3715 years ago,
01:08:39there's only one player
01:08:41who has scored more goals
01:08:43than you can imagine.
01:08:45His name is Leo and his last name is Messi.
01:08:47But behind him is James Rodriguez.
01:08:49It was impressive.
01:08:51Sensational.
01:08:53I'm speechless.
01:08:55James is at the highest level
01:08:57he's ever played.
01:09:013-0.
01:09:03Gustavo Alfaro
01:09:05considering the possibility
01:09:07of scoring a bit more.
01:09:09He's going to score.
01:09:11He was the starter
01:09:13in the game against Brazil.
01:09:17To play in that position
01:09:19as a midfielder
01:09:21it won't be the only change
01:09:23we can see.
01:09:27Berenice played the other day
01:09:29as a midfielder.
01:09:31I think it was Alcocer
01:09:33who was also ready to
01:09:35jump on the pitch.
01:09:37Moura
01:09:39was on the ground.
01:09:41Campbell
01:09:43tried to get the ball out.
01:09:45Costa Rica
01:09:47didn't miss the chance.
01:09:49They have a lot of options
01:09:51and chances.
01:09:53In the last third
01:09:55we didn't see Tico
01:09:57even though he played
01:09:59his team earlier than
01:10:01in the game against Brazil.
01:10:03But that didn't give him
01:10:05any chances.
01:10:07Galo, who can't play.
01:10:11And Colombia
01:10:13who have the game
01:10:15tied up.
01:10:17The changes.
01:10:19Aguilera will go
01:10:21and Brenes will come on.
01:10:25We'll see Alcocer
01:10:27who
01:10:29ends up
01:10:31on the pitch.
01:10:33Álvaro Zamora.
01:10:39Josimar Alcocer
01:10:41on the pitch.
01:10:43Berenice for the midfielder
01:10:45who played the last game.
01:10:47Aguilera.
01:10:49He didn't play much.
01:10:51He was in Bristol City
01:10:53last year.
01:10:55And Berenice
01:10:57for the pivot.
01:10:59The game was
01:11:01over.
01:11:03Costa Rica will have to play the third game
01:11:05against Paraguay.
01:11:07It would be a carambola.
01:11:09They would still have an option
01:11:11depending on what happens next.
01:11:13They need Brazil and Paraguay
01:11:15to tie.
01:11:17And they could
01:11:19by beating Paraguay
01:11:21and trusting that Colombia
01:11:23beats Brazil.
01:11:25It would be very difficult.
01:11:27If Colombia beats Brazil
01:11:29in the last game
01:11:31they could end up tied
01:11:33with Brazil.
01:11:35But this 3-0
01:11:37in the Abrax
01:11:39of the goals in favour and against
01:11:41makes things very difficult.
01:11:43It's a possibility
01:11:45to end up tied with Brazil.
01:11:47Hypothetically, if it could happen
01:11:49it would leave
01:11:51them in a position
01:11:53of inferiority.
01:11:55That's how James encourages the fans.
01:11:57He encourages the fans
01:11:59because he knows
01:12:01that Colombia is flying.
01:12:03They are at the top
01:12:05of the wave right now.
01:12:07They have been for several months.
01:12:09A great ball from James with the right
01:12:11and a great finish
01:12:13from a phenomenal John Cordoba.
01:12:17Well, apart from Argentina and Brazil
01:12:19who, of course, by pedigree, history
01:12:21and quality
01:12:23are able to win the Copa America
01:12:25yesterday we saw Uruguay
01:12:27at an excellent level.
01:12:29Today we can confirm
01:12:31that Colombia is still at that
01:12:33excellent level and they present
01:12:35themselves as two of the great
01:12:37alternatives
01:12:39to try to
01:12:41take that throne that Argentina
01:12:43is defending right now and that Brazil
01:12:45wants to recover after having played
01:12:47the final of the last edition.
01:12:51Of course, ahead of us
01:12:53is also a really fantastic tournament
01:12:57where we will finally see
01:12:59what role the teams of the
01:13:01CONCACAF end up occupying.
01:13:03Let's see there again John Cordoba
01:13:05who almost ends up
01:13:07winning the game
01:13:09to Calvo
01:13:11because, as we commented yesterday,
01:13:13Mexico and the United States, the two strongest teams
01:13:15of the CONCACAF, are or will reach the
01:13:17last round in a very, very
01:13:19delicate situation.
01:13:21The normal thing is that they both stay out
01:13:23both Mexico and the United States
01:13:25which would be a catastrophe for
01:13:27CONCACAF, but I think
01:13:29there are many possibilities.
01:13:31Yesterday's defeat of the United States against Panama
01:13:33that expulsion
01:13:35from UEA will cost
01:13:37the United States a lot.
01:13:39A lot.
01:13:41Arias has recovered that ball
01:13:43and passes it to Lerma.
01:13:45Lerma plays towards Muñoz
01:13:47this one with Davinson Sánchez
01:13:51Cuesta's ball, Mojica
01:13:53enjoys the ball
01:13:55in his power, now at the feet of Colombia
01:13:57Cuesta touches
01:13:59the ball to the left
01:14:01with Lerma
01:14:03and Mojica
01:14:09And at the moment the surprise
01:14:11for his
01:14:13not only classification but for
01:14:15having done it after only two games
01:14:17has been Venezuela too.
01:14:19Venezuela also plays well.
01:14:21There is a lot of level in this tournament.
01:14:23And watch out for Ecuador.
01:14:25Don't forget Ecuador, who lost the other day
01:14:27because of the expulsion of Ener Valencia
01:14:29which cost them against Venezuela.
01:14:31But if Ecuador gets in,
01:14:33they are a team with a lot of level.
01:14:35The quarters are going to be
01:14:37spectacular.
01:14:39The problem for Ecuador
01:14:41is that
01:14:43if they get in
01:14:45it looks like
01:14:47they are going to come to Argentina.
01:14:49They are going to have Argentina in the quarterfinals.
01:14:53Because Venezuela is already
01:14:55first in the group.
01:15:05Holding areas.
01:15:07Colombia
01:15:09in the end, with perseverance
01:15:11has been generating
01:15:13goals.
01:15:15We are very close to Argentina-Ecuador
01:15:17and Venezuela-Chile
01:15:19in the quarterfinals.
01:15:21Pretty close
01:15:23to those two games.
01:15:27Yes, yes.
01:15:29Venezuela beat
01:15:31Ecuador and Mexico.
01:15:33They get three points
01:15:35each of the two teams.
01:15:37That is, they have guaranteed the first position
01:15:39of that group, their classification
01:15:41and Argentina, who is also
01:15:43in Group A. Group A and Group B
01:15:45meet in the quarterfinals. Group C and Group D
01:15:47do exactly the same.
01:15:49And now
01:15:51the carousel of changes continues.
01:15:53Kevin Castaño, a player I like a lot.
01:15:55He played against Spain
01:15:57and this guy, Asprilla.
01:15:59Very interesting, Asprilla.
01:16:01A very skilled player.
01:16:03He brings together
01:16:05other of the great young talents of South American football.
01:16:07For James, who is going to
01:16:09take a gala ovation.
01:16:11It's a spectacular game.
01:16:13A great game, James.
01:16:17I wanted to take the last assist,
01:16:19the last goal pass, which has been
01:16:21wonderful.
01:16:23These are changes to protect the most important players.
01:16:25Lerma has also left, if I'm not mistaken,
01:16:27against Kevin Castaño, who is a good player.
01:16:29It is very difficult to get into the national team.
01:16:33People go crazy with James.
01:16:35Normal.
01:16:37Well, this marker allows
01:16:39Lorenzo to dose him,
01:16:41to keep him fresh.
01:16:43Asprilla comes in, a left-back
01:16:45from Watford.
01:16:47Let's see if he plays close to the right-back.
01:16:49Very skilled.
01:16:51Another player
01:16:53who I think will give a lot
01:16:55in the future.
01:16:57Colombia is still
01:16:59bringing out talent, obviously.
01:17:05There is the greeting of James
01:17:07and the rest of the players
01:17:09on the bench. Lerma has also left.
01:17:13A great game again.
01:17:15Every time there is a situation
01:17:17with the ball stopped, and Colombia is capable
01:17:19of generating many situations with the ball stopped,
01:17:21James' shot
01:17:23makes the difference.
01:17:25But with the ball in play,
01:17:27the same thing happens.
01:17:29Jon Arias tried it with that shot
01:17:31from outside the box.
01:17:33Luis Díaz.
01:17:35The ball
01:17:37was taken by Mitchell.
01:17:39Joel Campbell is going to take the ball back.
01:17:41Delicate. He didn't think about it twice.
01:17:43Now, John Córdoba
01:17:45continues the game with the shot
01:17:47that comes out very focused to Castaño.
01:17:49James has had three assists.
01:17:51Yes, yes.
01:17:53Let's not forget that he has given it to both of them
01:17:55in two spectacular games.
01:18:01It has been a double shot
01:18:03that has taken Costa Rica
01:18:05in a matter of a few minutes from 1-0
01:18:07that still left the game
01:18:09hooked to a 3-0
01:18:11almost impossible
01:18:13to come back.
01:18:15We see the play
01:18:17after Luis Díaz's run
01:18:19and Kevin Castaño's shot
01:18:21that has come out in the middle
01:18:23without being able to surprise
01:18:25Patrick Sequeira.
01:18:27Sequeira,
01:18:29who, to be honest,
01:18:31has not been able to do much
01:18:33but has a very high responsibility
01:18:35in the first half
01:18:37as we have already seen
01:18:39for committing a totally
01:18:41elusive penalty
01:18:43that has opened up
01:18:45the chances of victory for Colombia.
01:18:47But both the penalty
01:18:49and the header of Davinson Sánchez
01:18:51or the definition of John Córdoba
01:18:53in the 3-0
01:18:55have been impossible
01:18:57or almost impossible
01:18:59to come out of.
01:19:01Mojica, towards the back.
01:19:05The ball for Camilo Vargas.
01:19:07Not a single intervention, Julio.
01:19:09Costa Rica has not arrived.
01:19:11They have tried to survive
01:19:13but have not been able to do so.
01:19:15It has clearly been overcome.
01:19:17I think it has been overwhelmed
01:19:19by Colombia at times.
01:19:23The ball
01:19:25is being distributed by the Brenes
01:19:27and Calvo intervenes.
01:19:29Now Moura.
01:19:31Calvo has let it pass
01:19:33and Sequeira was attentive
01:19:35because John Córdoba
01:19:37came out again with options
01:19:39to end the game
01:19:41with an irresistible success.
01:19:45There is no way to overcome
01:19:47Colombia's defenders
01:19:49in the one-on-one.
01:19:51Muñoz has defended himself
01:19:53against Alcocer.
01:19:57It is a game
01:19:59for Serie A
01:20:01with a certain resignation.
01:20:05But today
01:20:07the rival
01:20:09that Costa Rica
01:20:11is facing
01:20:13is a very strong team.
01:20:1514 shots
01:20:17for Costa Rica.
01:20:19Four between
01:20:21the three poles
01:20:23of which
01:20:25three have finished in goal.
01:20:27Costa Rica
01:20:29has not yet been able
01:20:31to direct a ball
01:20:33to Camilo Vargas' goal.
01:20:45Costa Rica is now enjoying
01:20:47this option for a free-kick.
01:20:51There goes Brenes.
01:20:53Muñoz's free-kick.
01:20:55Joel Campbell's free-kick.
01:20:57And John Córdoba's ball
01:20:59for Luis Díaz
01:21:01to show his speed
01:21:03but also his pause
01:21:05because he passes the ball
01:21:07so that Asprilla
01:21:09caresses Colombia's fourth goal.
01:21:11Asprilla's free-kick.
01:21:13The central defender
01:21:15is a bit uncomfortable
01:21:17but the free-kick
01:21:19from the left
01:21:21from the left
01:21:23from the left
01:21:25from the left
01:21:27from the left
01:21:29from the left
01:21:31from the left
01:21:33from the left
01:21:35from the left
01:21:37from the left
01:21:39from the left
01:21:41from the left
01:21:43from the left
01:21:45from the left
01:21:47from the left
01:21:49from the left
01:21:51from the left
01:21:53from the left
01:21:55from the left
01:21:57from the left
01:21:59from the left
01:22:01from the left
01:22:03from the left
01:22:05from the left
01:22:07They're very, very good too.
01:22:09A very complete coaching staff.
01:22:17Here goes Arias
01:22:19they walk away from Mitchell
01:22:21it's very dangerous
01:22:23he can get in. He passed
01:22:25Rafael Santosborre
01:22:27who I think was able to
01:22:29control and get the ball
01:22:31towards the enemy's goal
01:22:33but everyone's piling up
01:22:35There's a great Coral character and he wanted to generate doubts in the Costa Rica league
01:22:41by letting Santos Borrea pass the ball, although he didn't.
01:22:44The shot finally went in for Colombia.
01:22:54As of July, despite the changes, Néstor Lorenzo's team continues to maintain a certain will
01:23:02to continue generating problems and danger.
01:23:04We've seen it in the last few games, Esprit almost scored and now this last one too.
01:23:08Yes, Colombia's substitutes are of a very high level.
01:23:12They're better than Costa Rica's starters, so Colombia is still very involved in the game,
01:23:17with the game already won.
01:23:19The difference in goals won't be so important, because it will depend a lot on whether I win or draw or lose to Brazil.
01:23:25But the feeling it still gives me is what Colombia has been giving me lately.
01:23:31Davidson has also come in, scoring another goal.
01:23:35It will be Colombia's 25th consecutive game without losing.
01:23:39It's incredible.
01:23:41They haven't lost since February 2022.
01:23:43I think it was Argentina, the last team to beat the Cafeteros,
01:23:48and it will be the first time they've won 10 games in a row.
01:23:53They're going to be in the quarterfinals for the sixth consecutive time in the Copa América.
01:24:01So they're breaking records.
01:24:05And although Néstor Lorenzo has made it very clear that they don't want to feel the pressure of the undefeated,
01:24:12in the sense that that could be a great responsibility for them.
01:24:19The aim is to get to the final rounds in the best possible situation and position.
01:24:25But the team doesn't show signs of having cracks.
01:24:30It's a shame.
01:24:37Touching back, it's tough for Davidson.
01:24:40Costa Rica doesn't dare to go up either.
01:24:43They feel that the game has nothing to do with them and they don't want to make a lot of effort.
01:24:50Soler touching Colombia from side to side and simply protecting the Colombian national team.
01:24:57Kevin Castaños comes out of the box to Vargas.
01:25:04We haven't seen Vargas because he hasn't needed Colombia at any time.
01:25:14Rojas goes on to play for Costa Rica.
01:25:19Campbell, who hasn't missed out on the chance to create chances in midfield,
01:25:26but it's been an impossible mission.
01:25:29The speed, the vertigo and the ability to recover from Colombia
01:25:34haven't allowed Costa Rica to make any significant strides in the game.
01:25:41Muñoz touches back.
01:25:44Uribe's ball ends up reaching Vargas.
01:25:49Costa Rica pick up the ball.
01:25:53Mojica.
01:25:55And calmly, with ease, resting with the ball, Colombia now.
01:26:01Davidson.
01:26:03To Muñoz.
01:26:05Uribe passes the ball back to Davidson Sánchez.
01:26:08He opens up a bit to the right.
01:26:11Long ball.
01:26:12Durant's header.
01:26:14Borré.
01:26:15Good control of Borré's back.
01:26:17Castaños, who's turned well, Asprilla.
01:26:19The finish looked very good.
01:26:21It hit Mitchell's body.
01:26:23Colombia continue with Arias and Mojica.
01:26:27Mojica to the back.
01:26:29Castaños, Uribe.
01:26:31It's a pleasure to see Colombia play now.
01:26:35They're in control of the ball against Costa Rica.
01:26:38They're trying not to disarm, but despite that,
01:26:42Néstor Lorenzo's team still have a great feeling.
01:26:47Enrique, I think today the wingers have had less pressure than the other days.
01:26:52Especially Muñoz.
01:26:54A bit more Mojica, but especially Muñoz.
01:26:58Once again, a very convincing game from Colombia.
01:27:05Castaños leaving the ball behind.
01:27:11And now that pressure that ends up missing from Madrigal.
01:27:21Who's going to be the player that comes out substituted.
01:27:27It seemed a bit like Madrigal.
01:27:31Andy Rojas, right?
01:27:33The striker for Vediano.
01:27:35He's just joined the national team.
01:27:3718 years for Rojas.
01:27:40It's been an easy game for the midfielders in Costa Rica.
01:27:45With so little chance of having the ball in their hands.
01:27:51Arias to Santos Borré.
01:27:53Mojica.
01:27:55Rafael Santos Borré was closed there.
01:27:58But it's been Quiroz, the last one to touch.
01:28:02It was Keylor, right?
01:28:04No, no.
01:28:05I thought it was Keylor.
01:28:07But it didn't work.
01:28:09For a moment.
01:28:11He was covering his face with his shirt.
01:28:17That reminds us of a Keylor Navas.
01:28:21Who's definitely leaving the national team.
01:28:25And where Sequeira had taken the responsibility of keeping the Costa Rican goal.
01:28:30With a lot of good work on the first day.
01:28:33It cost him a lot more today.
01:28:35It was a 0-0 draw for James.
01:28:37He couldn't do much.
01:28:39It was a big mistake.
01:28:41It cost him a lot.
01:28:43Let's see the start.
01:28:45No, not this time.
01:28:47It got too fast here.
01:28:49Arias.
01:28:51Campbell holds on.
01:28:53He plays for Quiroz.
01:29:00Brenes.
01:29:03Supporting Michel.
01:29:09Difficulties for Galo.
01:29:11He's managed to get the ball out.
01:29:13But Santos Borges crossed the ball on his way in.
01:29:17We're already in the 40th minute.
01:29:20Colombia are waiting for the end of the game.
01:29:23Costa Rica are resigned.
01:29:26They'll have to suffer their first defeat in this edition.
01:29:29It's the 2024 Copa América.
01:29:39Costa Rica are playing with calm.
01:29:43Juan Pablo Vargas.
01:29:45Michel.
01:29:47He's practically lost.
01:29:50After the 2-0 draw.
01:29:52Costa Rican hope.
01:29:55Mora and Muñoz.
01:29:59He passed the ball to Camilo Vargas.
01:30:03Let's see if he still has a chance.
01:30:07Maybe another goal from Colombia.
01:30:09The team is very relaxed.
01:30:11They have a lot of talent.
01:30:13But the job is done.
01:30:15They want to protect the ball more than anything else.
01:30:19It doesn't look like they're taking too many risks.
01:30:24Luis Díaz has gone.
01:30:27James.
01:30:29John Córdoba.
01:30:31He's gone to the most important part of the attack.
01:30:33Costa Rica are not giving up.
01:30:36They're not giving up.
01:30:39They haven't had a clear chance to score.
01:30:44I see a shot between the three sticks.
01:30:47No, they haven't.
01:30:49We saw the statistics a few minutes ago.
01:30:53There were four shots in the game.
01:30:56None between the three sticks.
01:31:00Davinson.
01:31:02He's playing long now.
01:31:06Durant's foul on Calvo.
01:31:17It looks like they had their pluses and minuses.
01:31:20Durant.
01:31:26He touched that ball when Galo was going to put it in play.
01:31:31I think at this point in the game, just as the scoreboard says.
01:31:35And the result of the match is totally unnecessary now.
01:31:40Kiros, about to lose it.
01:31:44Uribe was going forward.
01:31:46Santos Borré was behind.
01:31:48Davinson's ball went to Durant.
01:31:50With Calvo's pressure.
01:31:54Durant had to make a huge effort not to lose the ball.
01:31:57But on the way, I think he was able to step on Joel Campbell.
01:32:02He was on the floor.
01:32:04I didn't step on Durant.
01:32:06As a result of the play, I didn't mean to.
01:32:08But I did step on Campbell.
01:32:13We'll see how much he has left in the national team.
01:32:15Joel Campbell shouldn't have much left.
01:32:18I don't know if it was a step or a shot.
01:32:26Davinson.
01:32:28The match is agonizing.
01:32:30There's the goal.
01:32:31The centre and the perfect finish.
01:32:33This is Davinson's magnificent header.
01:32:36Perfect.
01:32:382-0.
01:32:39And then James' pass to the right for the 3-0.
01:32:42A tribute to a injured Lukumi the other day.
01:32:45The pass to the right. Perfect.
01:32:47And then the cross from John Cordova.
01:32:51He has everything. Position, power, mid-height.
01:32:54The only thing he hasn't done well is with the shirt.
01:32:56It's a yellow shirt that can affect the future of the America's Cup.
01:33:00The yellow shirt is worn in a suspension match.
01:33:03Of course.
01:33:04It's a gift.
01:33:06A chance to lose a match.
01:33:12It's a forced foul.
01:33:14It's ok for a player to leave.
01:33:18Aguanta-Gallo.
01:33:19Durant deflected the ball.
01:33:21The match shouldn't go beyond the 90th minute.
01:33:24There haven't been too many interruptions.
01:33:26Everything is decided.
01:33:28Colombia...
01:33:29With everyone sentenced as they are in Uruguay.
01:33:31There haven't been long discounts in this America's Cup.
01:33:33In this case, it would be justified.
01:33:35Costa Rica has held on until the 2-0.
01:33:38Things were becoming almost impossible.
01:33:45Arias comes out.
01:33:47Pointing the ball to the left.
01:33:50Where Asprilla connects again with John Arias.
01:33:54The ball was loose.
01:33:56Costa Rica tried to win it.
01:33:58But there's still a point of attention and intensity in Colombia.
01:34:03They're not willing to give Costa Rica even half a chance in this match.
01:34:10It's logical.
01:34:11Everyone is playing at a very high level.
01:34:14Some with more participation.
01:34:16Others with less.
01:34:18Some, of course, showing up on the pitch.
01:34:21But it's logical.
01:34:23It's logical.
01:34:25Some with more participation.
01:34:27Others with less.
01:34:29Some, of course, showing up on the pitch.
01:34:31To close the match in a goal.
01:34:33Or like James, in a pass.
01:34:35Magnificent.
01:34:37The result of this triumph for Colombia.
01:34:40But no one is in the right place in this team.
01:34:46No one.
01:34:48And then a great tactical work by the team.
01:34:52James' mobility is one of the main strengths.
01:34:55And that's where the drawing changes a bit.
01:34:58He plays with a single point.
01:35:00Luis Diaz on the left.
01:35:02Very deep on the sides.
01:35:04Today, less.
01:35:06A very well-worked team.
01:35:08From a very high technical level.
01:35:10Because he has great players from an individual point of view.
01:35:12But also tactical.
01:35:14Because of what the coach does.
01:35:16They've been singing Colombia for a long time.
01:35:21Two minutes to go.
01:35:23What's left of the match.
01:35:25To close this first of Group D.
01:35:28Which is being played tonight.
01:35:31Colombia doesn't seem to want to attack.
01:35:34With 3-0.
01:35:36A comfortable match.
01:35:38The end of the match has been signed.
01:35:44Santos Borre.
01:35:52Costa Rica.
01:35:54They're getting ready for the last match against Paraguay.
01:35:57They'll be looking forward to the result.
01:36:00In just over an hour.
01:36:03In this match.
01:36:05Between Paraguay and the Brazilian team.
01:36:09To see if there are any real options.
01:36:13To attack and get to the second position.
01:36:16And reach the quarter-finals.
01:36:18It doesn't seem to be easy.
01:36:20Considering that Brazil is also in the equation.
01:36:24Let's see the finish.
01:36:26Many minutes ago.
01:36:28There was no attempt by a player from Costa Rica.
01:36:33Here we see the advance of Quiroz.
01:36:37He's had a hard time with Mojica.
01:36:40But he hasn't been able to beat the Colombian.
01:36:43It's been Brenes.
01:36:45The author of that shot.
01:36:51There's time to announce anything in the match.
01:36:55There's Néstor Lorenzo.
01:36:57What a job he's doing with Colombia.
01:36:59Let's see where this Copa America goes.
01:37:01But of course.
01:37:03Colombia is fabulous.
01:37:05Costa Rica has done their best.
01:37:08They were very aggressive.
01:37:11They were very aggressive.
01:37:14They were trying to get stronger.
01:37:18But Colombia's superiority has been very clear.
01:37:22A warm greeting between Néstor Lorenzo and Gustavo Alfaro.
01:37:26From the two coaches of this match.
01:37:29Colombia wins 3-0.
01:37:31They're in the quarter-finals.
01:37:33They're waiting to see if they're first or second.
01:37:36Being first will probably allow them to avoid Uruguay.
01:37:40But they'll have to work on it in the last match against Brazil.
01:37:44Before Dorival Junior's own team
01:37:47faces Paraguay in just one hour.
01:37:51In the match we're going to offer you next.
01:37:54A great triumph for the Colombian team.
01:37:57And the feeling that the team is very well armed.
01:38:00Very well done.
01:38:02A great job by Néstor Lorenzo.
01:38:05With a lot of head, a lot of logic.
01:38:08The players in their position.
01:38:10A good pressure at times.
01:38:12But mainly the level.
01:38:15Especially the versatility of several players.
01:38:19And the offensive protection of practically everyone.
01:38:22The records they have.
01:38:24And then the ball.
01:38:26Colombia's ball is fundamental.
01:38:28James is at a very high level.
01:38:31He's got three goals.
01:38:33Luis Díaz does everything.
01:38:35John Córdoba has been much better than Santos Borré.
01:38:38The central defenders are all attacking.
01:38:41With a lot of danger.
01:38:43A great Colombia.
01:38:45A team that can win this Copa América.
01:38:47I've been saying that for a long time.
01:38:49I don't think Colombia is inferior to anyone.
01:38:51From a footballing point of view,
01:38:53of course, they're at the highest level.
01:38:55But perhaps the most striking thing today
01:38:57is that in a match where he wanted to propose a meeting
01:39:00I don't want to say bronco, but yes.
01:39:02Well, with those pauses, with that friction.
01:39:04Costa Rica from the start has had the calm,
01:39:07the tranquility to also enter a match
01:39:10from that point of view,
01:39:12surely much more aggressive.
01:39:14And find their solutions.
01:39:16And that speaks of the records that Colombia has.
01:39:19And how well it handles
01:39:21in different situations
01:39:23that can occur in a match.
01:39:25Let's see who we can hear now.
01:39:27Let's see if we can hear James.
01:39:29Luis Díaz.
01:39:30And we'll hear some Tico as well.
01:39:32Yes, yes, we're looking forward to
01:39:34being able to
01:39:36have the opportunity
01:39:38to know the impressions
01:39:40of two of the protagonists of this match.
01:39:42One from each team.
01:39:45Davinson, who has been one of the authors
01:39:50of the goals
01:39:52of the Colombian team.
01:39:55Luis Díaz, the first.
01:39:57Davinson, the second.
01:39:59And John Cordoba, the third goal.
01:40:02From the coffee table.
01:40:06And James, well,
01:40:09in that moment of football maturity
01:40:13where he knows how far he can go.
01:40:16And where he can go is very far.
01:40:18It's very far, yes.
01:40:19Let's say he has recovered.
01:40:21I think he's at the level of James
01:40:23from the 2014 World Cup.
01:40:25And ten years later,
01:40:27it seemed difficult to be able to repeat this level.
01:40:29But I think he's repeating it.
