Colombia vs Costa Rica Head-to-Head stats and numbers you need to know before Match 15 of the 2024 Copa America 

Colombia and Costa Rica will face off at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale on Friday in the second game of their 2024 Copa America group stage campaign. The two sides avoided defeat in their group opener last time out and will be looking to build on that this weekend and stake their claim to the knockout stages.

Los Cafeteros are enjoying life under manager Nestor Lorenzo and have carried that momentum into the continental showpiece, kicking things off with a 2-1 win over Paraguay.

Team captain James Rodriguez put out a masterful showing, providing assists for Crystal Palace duo Daniel Munoz and Jefferson Lerma as Colombia secured a two-goal lead at the break before Julio Enciso turned home a second-half consolation goal for Paraguay.

Costa Rica, meanwhile, locked horns with one of the tournament favorites Brazil in their group opener on Monday and knew they had an enormous task ahead in their bid to snap a nine-game losing streak at the hands of Selecao.

Being the clear underdogs in the matchup, Los Ticos set up a defensive shape and were tasked with repelling wave after wave of Brazil attacks which they successfully managed en route to a goalless draw.
