It wasn’t graceful, but it was still enough to get the job done. However, Colombia must do far better than this in the last four against either Mexico or Chile if they were to reach the finals for the first time since 2001.

This was hardly a vintage performance from a Colombia side that has immense potential to make big strides. Following two encouraging shows in the first two games of the tournament, Los Cafeteros have gone downhill, and must find their mojo back as semi-finals aren’t far away.

Both Mexico and Chile can prove to be tough opposition despite their own problems, and another subpar display against them can prove to be too costly.
