CHRONICLE:

Colombia, as expected, dominated much of the game, retaining possession, but was unable to pierce the goalkeeper Al Sheeb for 86 ‘. On two occasions the referee was about to assign a penalty to the Cafeteros, only to always change the decision after the check to the VAR. The selection of Queiroz was dangerous with the attempts of Martinez and Cuadrado, but he had to wait for the usual Duvan Zapata to unlock the score.

After 86 ‘of play, Rodriguez sets up a cross with the drill for the inclusion of the Atalanta striker, who comes from the head and deposits the ball around the second post. Immediately afterwards, then served by Falcao’s filter, Zapata devours the one-on-one double with the Qatar goalkeeper. But it doesn’t matter, Colombia is in first place with 6 points. Two wins in as many games and two goals by Zapata.
