In case you didn’t know…
Colombia inflicted a crushing 2-0 defeat on Argentina, which was their first win against their rivals since 2007. It goes without saying that the match was a highly anticipated fixture of the tournament, considering both the teams are heavyweights in the tournament.
Goals from Roger Martinez and Duvan Zapata sealed a much-needed victory for Colombia whereas the Albiceleste endured the worst possible start to the tournament. After a rather slow first half, the second half was filled with action and late drama as both of Colombia’s goals came in the latter half of the match.
Messi and co. tried to open the scoring and they looked hungry for a win but the efficiency in the final third was missing. On the other hand, Martinez netted a sensational strike to open the scoring in the 72nd minute before Zapata sealed the win with another goal in the 86th minute of the game.
