Colombia continued its unbeaten start to the CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup 2026 qualification campaign with a 2-1 win over Argentina in Baranquilla on Tuesday.
James Rodriguez shone to help Colombia defeat Argentina in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the early morning of September 11.
Full time! Argentina lost 1-2 away to Colombia. La Albiceleste’s winning streak ended at 11 games.
Coach Scaloni’s team still holds the top position in the rankings (18 points) but is only 2 points ahead of Colombia and 1 point ahead of Uruguay if this team wins against Venezuela.
90+7: No goal. Argentina’s formation is high and they have to face a counter-attack. Jefferson Lerma faces Martinez but his shot is not successful.
The second half has 7 minutes of injury time.
Minute 84: No. Lautaro Martinez handled the situation too complicatedly, missing the opportunity after a good pass from his teammate.
Coach Scaloni added Paulo Dybala to the field.
Minute 80: Argentina made 3 substitutions after the second goal but it was not effective.
Minute 72: Missed! Colombia had a good counter-attack, plenty of space, the ball was passed to Jhon Duran but due to slipping his foot, his shot was not good, right at Martinez’s position.
Minute 66: No way. Argentina counterattacked well but once again, the decisive pass lacked power and was intercepted.
