Colombia Triumphs Over Argentina While Brazil Faces Shock Defeat in World Cup Qualifiers

Colombian players celebrating victory over Argentina in soccer.

Colombia secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over Argentina in a World Cup qualifying match, avenging their recent Copa America final loss. Meanwhile, Brazil suffered a surprising 1-0 defeat against Paraguay, leaving their qualification hopes in jeopardy.

Key Takeaways

  • Colombia avenged their Copa America final defeat with a 2-1 win over Argentina.
  • James Rodriguez scored the decisive penalty for Colombia.
  • Brazil’s struggles continue with a 1-0 loss to Paraguay.
  • Argentina remains in a strong position for World Cup qualification despite the loss.

Colombia’s Sweet Revenge

In a match held at Barranquilla’s Metropolitano Stadium, Colombia showcased their determination and skill against the reigning world champions. The victory was particularly sweet for Colombia, who had suffered a bitter 1-0 defeat to Argentina in the Copa America final just two months prior.

Colombia took the lead in the 25th minute when captain James Rodriguez delivered a precise cross that Yerson Mosquera headed into the net. However, Argentina equalized shortly after halftime, with Nicolas Gonzalez capitalizing on a misplaced pass from Rodriguez.

The turning point came in the 72nd minute when a controversial foul by Nicolas Otamendi on Daniel Munoz led to a penalty. Rodriguez stepped up and confidently converted the spot-kick, sealing the win for Colombia.

Brazil’s Disappointing Performance

In a shocking turn of events, Brazil fell to Paraguay in Asuncion. The only goal of the match came from Inter Miami midfielder Diego Gomez, who scored with a stunning long-range shot in the 20th minute. This defeat leaves Brazil in fifth place in the standings, raising concerns about their qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

The next round of qualifiers promises to be just as thrilling, with teams vying for a coveted place in the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
