The Colombian National Team was able to achieve a win or at least a draw during their visit to Bolivia. However, Jhon Córdoba’s height, lack of concentration in defense and poor finishing prevented him from scoring points. The illusion ended with a great goal by Miguel Terceros at 57 minutes (1-0).
Córdoba was not a beginner, but he came in at 23 minutes due to the injury of Roger Martínez. The ‘9’ had a bad afternoon wasting 4 clear goal chances, 2 in the first half and 2 more in the second. The most important thing was the first one with the bow alone. His shot went right into the woodwork. After the game, he spoke in the mixed zone, expressing his sadness.
“We knew it was a difficult game. For me it is one of the games to forget, but this is part of football. Now I have to raise my head, there are times when everyone comes in, today they didn’t come in. I am self-critical and we have to keep working to get the goal back,” said Córdoba.
