3-0 victory over Poland revives World Cup hopes in Colombia

by Adriaan Alsema June 24, 2018

Colombia beat Poland 3-0 on Sunday, leaving the South American team in the race for the second round of the World Cup in Russia.

The Cafeteros could not afford anything but a victory after losing 1-2 to Japan on Monday. What they did was not just remain in the race, but convincingly knock Poland out of the tournament.

Goal scorers

  • Yerry Mina (40′)
  • Radamel Falcao (70′)
  • Juan Cuadrado (75′)

With three points in the pocket, Colombia is now third in Group H, making a qualification to the next round all but certain. Sunday’s game, however, did show a team that has the capacity to prevail.

Team captain Falcao and his men are meeting Senegal, the group’s number 2, on Thursday. Again the team cannot afford anything but a victory to be certain to stay in the tournament.
