The Colombian team easily beat the Caribbeans 3-0 and secured a place in the quarter-finals of the continental tournament
A Colombia remains irresistible in Group A of Copa America. After winning the Paraguay in the debut, the Colombians passed without any scares Costa Rica.
From the beginning of the game the superiority of the South Americans was evident, with Luis Diaz tormenting the right side of the Costa Rican defense. On one of these arrivals he played to James Rodriguezwho played the goalkeeper Sequeira to work.
The first of the team coached by Nestor Lorenzo was awarded a penalty, after Cordoba was brought down inside the area. Díaz took the shot with great skill to open the scoring. Still in the first half, after a corner kick, the ball fell to the defender in the small area Davinson Sánchezbut he missed the target. If he missed the first opportunity, Davinson Sanchéz did not let the second one pass. In the corner taken by John Arias the defender scored with a header.
Shortly afterwards, on the counterattack, James Rodríguez gave Córdoba a first-time shot, who shot hard with his right foot to make Colombia 3-0. It was James Rodríguez's sixth assist in Copa América history. He is the second greatest on this basis, behind only Messi, who has 14 passes for a goal in the history of the tournament. For the rest of the match the teams just exchanged blows, but without danger for either side.
With their second victory in the competition, Colombia reaches 6 points and is already thinking about the knockout stages of the Copa América. In the last match of the group stage, against Brazil, the Colombians can guarantee first place in the group. Costa Rica has a point, and has a chance of qualifying for the last match of the first phase, when they face Paraguay. As the official profile of the Colombian National Team joked on social media, alluding to the film Inside Out, a new emotion was unlocked in the country: illusion.
