The Colombian National Team put an end to its preparation for the Copa América with a 3-0 win against Bolivia in Connecticut, United States, and was confirmed as a candidate to win the international competition what is coming right now.
After the 5-1 they achieved against the United States a week ago, Néstor Lorenzo moved some chips for this commitment and rotated names in search of analyzing the level of the footballers. Although he already delivered the list of 26 players, with the two cuts made, the Argentine coach took advantage of this duel against Bolivia to draw more conclusions.
Among the new features, the coach used Jhon Córdoba as a center forward, gave Yerry Mina minutes again and Carlos Cuesta accompanied him at the back. Deiver Machado was there from the start in place of Mojica and Ricahrd Ríos also started from the start.
The only ones who repeated from the previous game were Camilo Vargas, Daniel Muñoz, Jefferson Lerma, James Rodríguez, Jhon Arias and Luis Díaz.
The game was completely favorable for Colombia. From the beginning, the Tricolor demonstrated its hierarchy and made it count on the scoreboard: they scored all the goals in the first 45 minutes.
The one who opened the game was Jhon Arias, who, like against the United States, scored 1-0. A few minutes later, Jhon Córdoba sent it to save and scored 2-0. The third goal was scored by Luis Díaz, who scored the final goal with his devilish dribble.
After having this clear difference, Colombia continued trying to go forward, although it regulated in some moments to rotate the ball and not wear out so much.
Those three goals at the start were too much for Bolivia, which was barely able to trouble Camilo Vargas and left without being able to score goals against Colombia.
There is no more preparation time. Colombia ended this FIFA date with two good wins, eight goals for and just one against. He confirmed himself as a serious candidate in the Copa América and must demonstrate on June 24, when he debuts against Paraguay.
