Then, in the 18th minute, Dali took advantage of a rebound in the middle of the box, striking into the top corner to double the lead. In the 42nd minute, Katoto headed in the final French goal of the game.
While the hosts didn’t add any more goals, Colombia did manage to score in the second half. In the 10th minute of the second half, Usme converted a penalty to reduce the deficit. Then, in the 19th minute, Paví outmaneuvered two defenders and finished into the corner of the net. But that was all the scoring for the Colombians.
