Colombia hosted Chile at home in the 10th round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America. The away team is in extremely bad form and is at the bottom of the table. Therefore, Colombia did not hesitate to attack right after the opening whistle.
Opportunities were created early, but the Chilean goalkeeper played quite well.
The turning point of the match came in the 34th minute. Cordoba headed the ball into the penalty area. The ball accidentally hit Sanchez’s head and changed direction, causing the Chilean goalkeeper to miss, and Colombia opened the scoring.
In the 45th minute, Cordoba headed the ball into the net. Unfortunately, the goal was disallowed because the creator, Luis Diaz, was offside.
Early in the second half, Chile’s central defender made a basic mistake in their own half and Luis Diaz did not miss the chance to double the gap. Colombia kept up their attack despite the advantage in the score, making Chile very passive. It was not until the end of the second half that they began to launch counterattacks.
However, the goal was not yet seen, the loss came. In the 82nd minute, Jhon Duran broke the offside trap and easily defeated the Chilean goalkeeper.
In the 90+2 minute, Sinisterra unexpectedly received a “gift” from the opponent and the Colombian winger did not miss the opportunity to put his name on the scoreboard. In the end, Colombia defeated Chile with a score of 4-0..
