Copa http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390 Match Report – Colombia vs Bolivia – Part 1
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bolivia-c2855 took each other on in their third game of the Copa America. Going into the game, Colombia were already leading Group A, while Bolivia desperately needed to pick up the three points to rescue themselves.
Nonetheless, despite that fact, it was the Colombians who were being hailed as the favourites going into the game.
The match kicked off with Colombia running the show and Bolivia trying to keep up with the pace. After just 15 minutes, it was Falcao who scored the opening goal of the game.
The striker was sent through by Moreno and the Porto forward then went on to calmly take his time and slot the ball into the back of the net.
In the 27th minute of the game, Armero burst into the Bolivia area and was taken out by Amador. However, the challenge was rather tardy and resulted in the referee awarding a penalty to Colombia.
Falcao, who was the man of the hour, stepped up to take the resulting kick He then went on to send his short straight down the middle of the goal and into the back of the net. Following that goal, Colombia were now leading by two goals to nil and seemed
to be on course to a routine victory.
In the 45th minute, just before the end of the half, Bolivia were handed a very rare window of opportunity to get their name on the score sheet.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martinez-c24468 decided to punch the ball away. The keepers attempted punch was a poor one and had a Bolivian player been present, the ball could have easily been converted into the back
of the net.
Both teams then headed down into the tunnel for the half time break and both managers seemed to have a completely different talk to dish out during the interval.
