00:00He is still such a huge force for this national side.
00:05Nestor Lorenzo played a 4-3-3 very often in qualifying.
00:09In Arizona, a win for Columbia puts them into the quarterfinals of Copa.
00:17He's there a long time. Outstanding netminder.
00:20He retired from international duty back in May. That was a shock.
00:25Comes to nothing. Is Columbia able to thump it away?
00:31This is a free kick for Costa Rica, right on that halfway line.
00:38Arias, out wide.
00:41Into the middle it goes, and it's over the bar.
00:45Luis Diaz arriving.
00:50Early chance for Los Capitan.
00:53Tremendous battle in that corner.
00:55Referee now blows the whistle and points for a foul.
00:59Finally the free kick from James Rodriguez.
01:03It was dangerous. Columbia clean up the second ball and reset.
01:08Looped back in. Ariel Lassiter takes the free kick.
01:11And floats it over everyone. Harmlessly out.
01:17Promising here for Columbia. Top of the box.
01:20It's won back by Diaz.
01:23And Diaz sent tumbling. Free kick.
01:27This is a wrestling match. In around the side and centering it towards the front.
01:32It was courted.
01:35Columbia win the second ball.
01:38Definitely battling.
01:41Pressure there caused by Ugalde.
01:44And Diaz races on to it. First time cut back.
01:48Rodriguez what a save.
01:51Patrick Siqueira touches it around the post.
01:53Another big moment for the young goalkeeper.
01:56And Rodriguez can't believe it.
02:03Out swinging ball.
02:09Mojica fouled by Madrigal.
02:12Gustavo Alfaro didn't think so.
02:14Rodriguez thumps it in. Toward the penalty spot.
02:18Robinson Sanchez was helpful in Navas' retirement.
02:21In swinging ball.
02:23Back post and it came off of Columbia.
02:25Luis Diaz was there. Cordova was there.
02:28Nobody could turn it in.
02:31Second ball will be cleaned up.
02:33And a left footed strike coming. It's deflected out.
02:35This is going to be the first corner of the match for Costa Rica.
02:38Lassiter let it go. Swung out.
02:42Flipped down. Not cleared.
02:44Right footed effort is wide.
02:46A real chance for Costa Rica from the second ball.
02:48Columbia did not clear it.
02:50And it fell to Warren Mapp.
02:52This is a foot race. It's hanging up on the edge of the area.
02:55Siqueira goes bundling into the man.
02:57And it's a penalty for Columbia.
02:59He took down Cordova.
03:01And Gustavo Tejera points right to the spot.
03:03Luis Diaz against Patrick Siqueira.
03:07Diaz scores.
03:09Columbia have a lead.
03:11And take a big step toward the quarter finals.
03:27Back.
03:29It's Lassiter striking.
03:32Way over. Orlando Gallo was letting that go.
03:35Diabat attacking yet.
03:37They're going to have to come out of their shell.
03:39And here comes Columbia looking for more.
03:41This is deflected out.
03:43And this will be a corner.
03:45Rodriguez delivery.
03:47Headed down. Then volleyed over the bar.
03:49Great chance.
03:51Davinson Sanchez couldn't keep it down.
03:56Free kick from Lassiter. Driven in low.
04:01Rodriguez to the top of the six yard box.
04:03Back post. And somehow it stays out.
04:07All the way across the face of goal.
04:09Luis Diaz made the first contact.
04:11Badly given away by Costa Rica.
04:13And released down the right.
04:15Here goes Cordova.
04:18Here's the spin by Cordova. He's so elusive.
04:22Down the left side. Diaz up against two.
04:26And so the pass for Diaz. Luis Diaz with the back heel.
04:29It's Mo position.
04:31As Mojica goes on the overlap.
04:33Into the middle. It's touched on.
04:35Which was then converted by Luis Diaz.
04:37In the 31st.
04:39It's difficult because Columbia are so good in transition.
04:41Especially once they get a lead.
04:43Their foot in the quarter finals.
04:45Or can Costa Rica create a dramatic.
04:47Now Diaz.
04:49Slides it on the left for Mojica.
04:51Back in the right.
04:53Zamora. Laying it back.
04:55Left footed efforts.
04:57That's better from Costa Rica though.
04:59It's taken quickly by Costa Rica.
05:01Lots of space to swerve in across.
05:03Calvo pulls it across.
05:05It's Diaz. Luis Diaz still.
05:07Luis Diaz blocked.
05:09Second ball was scuffed.
05:11And finally attacked away.
05:13More great chances for Columbia to score the second goal.
05:15They still can't do it yet.
05:17Loose. And they do.
05:23He was consistent both ways.
05:25So that's all you can ask for.
05:27Free kick. This time.
05:29Gallo.
05:31Campbell trying to weave.
05:33Such great control.
05:35Next ball.
05:37Again he has Diaz streaking toward the box.
05:39Cardaba.
05:41And Disposet.
05:43Columbia can attack again with Lerma.
05:45And clutching his face.
05:47That's James Rodriguez down for Columbia.
05:49Play stopped.
05:51In from Rodriguez.
05:53Back post.
05:55Flicked out for a corner.
05:57Francisco Calvo in the way.
05:59Corner from the far side.
06:01Top of the 6.
06:03Headed on and in.
06:05Second goal for Columbia.
06:07They double their lead.
06:09Devinson Sanchez.
06:11Missed two headers in front of goal in the first half.
06:13He did not miss that one.
06:15It's party time.
06:17In Glendale.
06:19Third now.
06:21Space opening up for them again.
06:23Put on breaking dribble.
06:25And it's over the top.
06:27Cardaba trying to run on to the end of it.
06:29Cardaba gets there.
06:31Cardaba scores.
06:33Columbia's third.
06:35Certainly their second win in a row.
06:37Here at Copa America.
06:39And a place in the quarterfinals.
06:41And a place in the quarterfinals.
06:43And a place in the quarterfinals.
06:45And a place in the quarterfinals.
06:47And a place in the quarterfinals.
06:49Just about guaranteed.
06:513-0.
06:59Doesn't get one.
07:03Tournament for them, but they do want more.
07:05They'd love a goal back here.
07:07Moura crossing just over the head of Warren Madrigal.
07:09Good ball in.
07:11One of the most dangerous deliveries Costa Rica
07:13has had all day.
07:15First run.
07:17Chance to hit from second ball.
07:19Diaz lays it off.
07:21Took contact.
07:23Right footed strike.
07:25Castano released it.
07:27Racing down the right.
07:29And releases.
07:31Esprit wide.
