In an electrifying World Cup qualifier on Tuesday, Colombia defeated the defending champions Argentina with a score of 2-1. James Rodriguez was the star of the night, assisting the opening header and converting a penalty to secure the win for his team.
Argentina faced the match without their iconic player Lionel Messi, who was sidelined due to an ankle injury sustained during the Copa America final against Colombia. Despite the absence of their mega star, Argentina put up a strong fight but ultimately fell short against a determined Colombian side.
This victory not only boosts Colombia’s standing in the qualifiers but also sets the stage for an exciting World Cup campaign ahead.
