4) Zapata opens his account at a crucial stage
Trending
AC Milan defender Cristian Zapata opened his scoring account for Colombia after 8 years into his international career as he struck a fierce shot into the bottom corner of the net off a corner kick. The Rossoneri centre-back had a difficult season with his club side but brushed that aside with a positive start here.
Courtesy to some lackadaisical defending from the USA, Zapata was left with acres of space in the build-up with no one marking him at the far post, thereby allowing the 29-year old to slot home the tournament’s first goal.
It was his maiden goal with Colombia, and what a time to open his account!
