Camilo Vargas: The goalkeeper had a quiet afternoon with very little activity in his goal because the Bolivians rarely arrived in danger. He only made one big save in the second half when the game was 3-0.
Daniel Muñoz: He was playing a game without defensive errors and actively participating in the team’s attacks, but in the second half he was sent off for attacking a Bolivian player.
Yerry Mina: The defender returned to the starting lineup and had no problems in his position, showing a great level in the few offensive plays that Bolivia created. The center back participated in 5 defensive actions, with a balance of 6 recoveries, 1 interception and two clearances, one of them through the air.
Carlos Cuesta: The other defender of the National Team did not have much defensive work either, due to Bolivia’s few attacks. He showed a good level and complemented himself greatly with Yerry Mina. He had 6 recoveries, 2 interceptions and three direct duels, two of them in his favor.
Deiver Machado: The winger actively participated in Colombia’s attack, with good projections on the wing, associating with Luis Díaz and creating danger with overflows and crosses into the area. He provided the assist for Colombia’s 3-0 victory through the guajiro.
Jeffeson Lerma: He did a great job in the middle of the field, dismantling Bolivia’s attacks. It was a quiet game against a team that didn’t have many tools to do damage. There were three defensive actions, with three recoveries and two direct duels won out of four.
Richard Ríos: The midfielder also had no problems in both facets of the game, helping to mark and repeatedly going on the attack. Bolivia’s low level helped the midfielder have four recoveries in defense. In the attack he was not as important as in other games, but he managed to make a shot on goal.
Jhon Arias: The midfielder was very active in the attack and opened the scoring in the first minutes of the first half with a shot from his right foot. The player took advantage of a lack of attention from the Bolivian defense to convert inside the area.
James Rodríguez: The midfielder played 100 games with the Colombian National Team. It was a quiet game for the midfielder, who was very active, participating in the offensive plays, with 83 percent passing accuracy. He had two turnovers and three lost custro duels.
Luis Díaz: Great game by the winger who drove the Bolivian defenders crazy. The attacker was the most dangerous man in Colombia, repeatedly making overthrows that ended with a lot of danger in the rival goal. Lucho made it 3-0 and was close to being injured by a very strong kick from a Bolivian defender.
Jhon Córdoba: The forward did not waste the opportunity to be a starter and scored again with the Tricolor. The Krasnodar player made it 2-0 with a shot inside the area with his right foot.
Yaser Asprilla: He entered in the second half and gave more spice to the Colombian attack, forming a good duo with Luis Díaz. He was close to scoring inside the area but the Bolivian goalkeeper had a good response.
Miguel Ángel Borja: He entered in the second half, but did not have much offensive participation because Colombia lowered its performance after winning the game 3-0.
Matheus Uribe: The midfielder entered in the second half and was close to being sent off for defending Luis Díaz who suffered a disqualifying foul.
Kevin Castaño: The midfielder entered in the second half and could not stand out because Colombia slowed down the game after winning 3-0.
