In the first minutes the locals were more than the coffee cast, but they lacked depth to be able to generate a real danger to those led by Reinaldo Rueda. The Bolivians had their banner on offense, Marcelo Moreno Martins, who at 22 minutes headed and passed near David Ospina’s goal.

After 27 minutes, the visitors responded with a free kick by Juan Fernando Quintero that passed near the crossbar.

However, at 60 minutes it was Roger Martínez who managed to open the scoring for Colombia with a good play on the right where he first got between two defenders, he beat a third, definition before the departure of Lampe who did not cover his stick and the ball kissed the net.

But with seven minutes to go The green He capitalized on the first chance he had and it was with a strong shot from Fernando Saucedo from outside the area that was nailed at an angle.

In addition, they have a 10-game streak without losing to the Bolivians, with seven wins and three ties. The hosts’ last victory was 4-0 in 2003, en route to the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
