Key moments:
11′ Approach of Colombia. James shot low to the ground from mid-range, but the ball deflected off a rival and went near Gallese’s right post.
27 ‘He returned to look for Colombia. Filtered pass from Matheus and Falcao went hand in hand with Gallese, who went well to bilge and intervened again on the rebound.
49′ Searched for Colombia. Mina tried with a powerful shot from medium distance and the ball went very close to the goal.
75 & # 39; Once again Colombia tried. Great cross from Cuadrado, but Borja could not be effective with his header.
78′ On the line! Colombia had its clearest option with a shot from Borja, but Gallese incredibly took it out on the line.
84 & # 39; Goal by Peru! In a backlash the ‘Incas’ stayed with the victory. Flores gained speed and took a cross shot that, with Ospina’s complicity, went to the back of the net.
Match Development:
Colombia and one more game without finding the goal. This Friday he fell for the minimum difference against Peru and put his participation in the 2022 Qatar World Cup at risk.
The ‘tricolor’ showed a better face than the rival throughout the 90 minutes, stood out in offensive volume, went out looking for the goal and generated constant pressure on the rival goal, but continues to suffer from the same, the lack of effectiveness and this time he paid dearly.
The best options for the ‘tricolor’ in the first half came through James and Falcao, but both without direction of goal.
For the second half, Reinaldo Rueda gave entrance to Miguel Borja, who created the best opportunities for Colombia, even Pedro Gallese denied him the goal at the line. The national team did not lower their arms in search of the goal, they did more than the ‘Inca’ team, but today the saying “he who does not do them sees them do” was asserted.
At minute 84, the Peruvians, who had made David Ospina just another spectator, found their way to victory through Edison Flores, who finished off a ball that went in with the complicity of the Colombian goalkeeper.
With this result, Colombia, with 17 points, left the top 4 positions and will visit Argentina next Tuesday, while Peru added 20 units and will host Ecuador.
