00:00In just 26% of the ball, their positioning off of it was very good throughout and they did what they needed to do to achieve that big result.
00:07And now they face another tough test and Gustavo Alfaro's side will hope to have a little bit more attacking and possession time against a Colombia side that has sometimes been guilty of wasting chances.
00:18...front, James Rodriguez, two assists in that opening game. He is still such a huge force for this national side.
00:27Nestor Lorenzo played a 4-3-3 very often in qualifying that acts more like a 4-3-1-2 during gameplay and allows his players a lot of flexibility to drift into pockets of space and try to combine.
00:43Gustavo Tejeda making sure everything's in order.
00:49And we are in motion in Arizona. A win would be another huge result for a program looking to become giant killers again.
00:56An early man down for Costa Rica, that's Axel Kirov up against Vargas and Diaz able to cut inside.
01:05Backtracking though to break up the play was Warren Madrigal, again into the starting 11 today, didn't start in their opener.
01:12Kehler Navas was there a long time, outstanding netminder. He retired from international duty back in May, that was a shock to the entire nation.
01:28And this is a free kick for Costa Rica right on that halfway line.
01:35Costa Rica trying to apply a high press.
01:39Punto Arias, out wide.
01:42Into the middle it goes and it's over the bar.
01:46Luis Diaz arriving.
01:51Early chance for Los Cafeteros.
01:54To the end line.
02:00Tremendous battle in that corner, referee now blows the whistle and points for a foul.
02:09Finally the free kick from James Rodriguez.
02:13It was dangerous. Columbia clean up the second ball and reset.
02:20Promising here for Columbia, top of the box.
02:25It's one back by Diaz.
02:28Diaz sent tumbling, free kick Columbia.
02:31Regardless of how the game goes.
02:34Regardless of how the game goes.
02:36This is a wrestling match and in around the side and centering it towards the front.
02:41It was Cordoba winning that fizz battling.
02:44Some pressure there caused by Ugalde and now a foul given against Costa Rica.
02:50Another Colombian free kick in their own end.
02:54Touchline and Diaz races on to it.
02:56First time cut back, top of the box, James Rodriguez what a save.
03:00Patrick Siqueira touches it around the post.
03:02Another big moment for the young goalkeeper.
03:05And Rodriguez can't believe it.
03:11He had to slow up for just a moment.
03:13There was confusion between he and Arias who were arriving at the same time.
03:18Out swinging ball.
03:24Mojica fouled by Madrigal.
03:26Gustavo Alfaro didn't think so.
03:28Rodriguez thumps it in toward the penalty spot.
03:32Robinson Sanchez was up for it.
03:34I think it came off the back of his retirement.
03:36In swinging ball.
03:38Back post and it came off a Colombian.
03:40Luis Diaz was there.
03:42Cordoba was there.
03:43Nobody could turn it in.
03:47Chances starting to...
03:50Second ball will be cleaned up and a left footed strike coming.
03:53It's deflected out.
03:54This is going to be the first corner of the match for Costa Rica.
03:57Swung out.
03:59Flipped down. Not cleared.
04:01Right footed effort is wide.
04:03A real chance for Costa Rica from the second ball.
04:05Colombia did not clear it.
04:07And it fell to Warren Madrigal.
04:10This is a foot race.
04:12It's hanging up on the edge of the area.
04:14Siqueira goes bundling into the man.
04:16And it's a penalty for Colombia.
04:18He took down Cordoba.
04:20And Gustavo Tejera points right to the spot.
04:27Luis Diaz against Patrick Siqueira.
04:31Diaz scores.
04:33Colombia have a lead.
04:35And take a big step toward the quarter finals.
04:57Here's the penalty again.
04:59No doubt.
05:02And here's the penalty.
05:04Also no.
05:06Costa Rica try to get something right back.
05:10It's Lassiter striking.
05:12Way over.
05:14Orlando Gallup.
05:16Don't expect them to be crazy about attacking yet.
05:18They're going to have to come out of their shell.
05:20And here come Colombia looking for more.
05:22This is deflected out.
05:24And this will be a corner.
05:26Right away.

05:41Free kick from Lassiter.
05:43Driven in low.
05:45Headed away.
05:47Good delivery.
05:49Flag was up for offside.
05:51They go long here for Diaz.
05:52Trying to flick it down to himself.
05:56He's called for a foul.
05:58I think.
06:00It was a foul against Costa Rica.
06:02Diaz seems pleased with the decision.
06:05Rodriguez to the top of the six yard box.
06:07Back post.
06:09And somehow it stays out.
06:11All the way across the face of goal.
06:13Luis Diaz made the first contact.
06:15Nobody else could turn it in.
06:17Good tackling to win that.
06:19Alvaro Zamora.
06:21And then a free kick for Los Ticos.
06:23They need more of those moments.
06:25Winning the ball in the middle of the park.
06:27Not enough of that in this first half.
06:29Yellow cards coming out.
06:32And it will be shown to Richard Rios.
06:34A race back into position.
06:36As Mojica goes on the overlap.
06:38Into the middle.
06:40It's touched on by Luis Diaz.
06:42In the 31st.
06:44And it's in.
06:45In the 31st.
06:47It's like a change being made by Colombia as well.
06:50Richard Rios has come off.
06:52And.
06:54He's been replaced by Mateus Uribe.
06:57We're back underway for the.

07:03Back in the direction.
07:05Flag has stayed down.
07:07Zamora.
07:09Laying it back.
07:11Left footed efforts.
07:13That race was initially won by Quiroz.
07:15But then the tackle was won by Mojica.
07:17Was taken back from him.
07:19But then the foul given against Campbell.
07:21Challenging Calvo.
07:23Pulls it across.
07:25It's Diaz.
07:27Luis Diaz still.
07:29Luis Diaz blocked.
07:31Second ball was scuffed.
07:33And finally attacked away.
07:35More great chances for Colombia to score the second goal.
07:37They still can't do it.
07:39Mojica tried to flick.
07:41Didn't work.
07:43But they do.

08:19Second goal for Colombia.
08:21They double their lead.
08:23Devinson Sanchez.
