Colombia controlled possession (62 per cent) for the second straight game and led 1-0 at half time on Luis Diaz’s penalty kick in the 31st minute.
Los Cafeteros kept up the pressure in the second half and wrapped up Group D with a dominating performance in front of 27,386 pro-Colombian fans at State Farm Stadium. Colombia outshot Costa Rica 14-5 and face Brazil on Tuesday in Santa Clara, California to close out the group stage.
Colombia have won 10 straight and are unbeaten in 25 games (20-0-5) since losing to Argentina in a World Cup qualifier in 2022. “Today was a game we dominated from start to finish,” Colombia coach Nestor Lorenzo said.
