5) Colombia threaten from the wings
Trending
Save for James Rodriguez who was given the license to play wherever he likes, the rest of Colombia’s forward endeavours were inspired from the flanks and it worked wonders. Not only did they outsmart the Americans but also demonstrated a clinical attacking display.
The likes of Juan Cuadrado and Farid Diaz ran rings around the Americans from the flanks and the latter also won a penalty when his cross accidentally hit Yedlin’s hands, with the referee pointing to the spot. The hosts had absolutely no answer whatsoever to Colombia’s attacking whims and went down very limply.
Jose Pekerman got his tactics correct today and the result should be a fillip to his side to continue in the same vein.
