Colombia delivered a football masterclass Friday night, securing their spot in the Copa America quarterfinals with a dominant 3-0 victory over Costa Rica! Luis Díaz opened the scoring with a clinical penalty kick, while Davinson Sánchez and Jhon Córdoba sealed the deal with two quick goals after halftime – sending pro-Colombian fans into frenzy at State Farm Stadium.
Los Cafeteros maintained 62% possession and unleashed 14 shots, showcasing why they're now unbeaten in 25 consecutive matches (dating back to 2022!). Costa Rica, fresh off shocking Brazil with a draw, couldn't replicate the magic against Colombia's relentless attack.
'We dominated from start to finish,' said Colombia coach Néstor Lorenzo, while Costa Rica's Gustavo Alfaro admitted: 'The other team was on another level.'
