Meeting statistics

After holding Brazil to a scoreless draw, Costa Rica has just achieved one of its greatest results in history. Should “Los Ticos” secure points against Colombia, another formidable South American team, they’ll have a chance to go to the next round of the competition as the only CONCACAF team in a challenging group. Among the outstanding defensive players for Costa Rica against Brazil were Francisco Calvo (Juárez in Mexico) at 31 years old and 19-year-old Jeyland Mitchell (Alajuelense in his home country). The star goalie was Patrick Sequeira of Ibiza, a lower-league team in Spain. In this game, you’ll see Costa Rica play with the low block once more.

Colombia defeated Paraguay by scoring twice, but “Los Cafeteros” found it difficult to play in the second half. With his passing and ability to position himself on the offensive for Colombia, James Rodríguez is still an attacking threat despite his advanced age; yet, he doesn’t participate in tracking back to defend. Colombia’s two scorers in the Copa opener were Crystal Palace’s Jefferson Lerma and Daniel Muñoz from the Premier League.

Jhon Lucumí, a defender for Bologna, was substituted early due to an injury, and his absence may play a significant role in this game, while Luis Díaz of Liverpool and Rafael Borré of Internacional in Brazil were kept relatively quiet. The potential of this Colombian team is immense, and it continues to win, but the pressure is getting stronger. Even so, you’d expect them to outmaneuver the Costa Rican defense more skillfully than Brazil did, and since Costa Rica is currently rebuilding, its head coach Gustavo Alfaro hasn’t yet identified the ideal combination of players to spearhead the attack. In addition, Colombian supporters give their country a home-field advantage in every match they play, resulting in a sea of yellow in the Copa América stands.
