COLOMBIA vs PERU | WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS 2024

game of football the buildup has been a little slower than usual perhaps a few traffic issues along the way that we haven't been made aware of but we're glad to confirm that there is no longer any further problem the crowd have come well covered up against the elements whatever they may throw at us over the next hour or two and the noise generated as well as the appetite for this game is absolutely at Peak really is quite a sight to behold this it feels like a big game it looks like a big game mind you they all do at this ground you're just joining us we are already on the way yeah that's top defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities and he's had a hit attempt just the wrong outcome very speculative with little threat if any for the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] keeper goes direct to the front line chance decent enough try yeah he may have snatched it down a bit even though it was quite [Music] close Vargas Rado now looking to orchestrate a counter he's having a go and that's caused a worry or two is reputation is better than what we've just seen and it's come back to the keeper masado and here's the chance to counter he's found the way through well he is the type of character who Rises to this sort of Challenge and he will be back for more and that has left him in a heap Peru on the Counterattack ups for safety and back to the keeper they go osena punted up field [Applause] long Ball by the goalkeeper a real chance to [Applause] break that's good running with the ball Aras we can get that [Applause] clear and that's aimed into the middle Lumi still goalless at the moment Mina Sanchez moved on forwards over to the left P's going out of play [Applause] Vargas sends it Forward oh nicely [Applause] intercepted Aras oh that's a key interception so what can they make of this fiddles it through and he's in on goal Sanchez is strong enough it's all a little bit desperate but it's caught the job time you know it was an intervention that had to be made serious trouble lay in [Applause] store can he put it away goal Columbia and it's Columbia who take the lead galisi and he's only too grateful to capitalize on the Keeper's Misfortune look that's one of the first things you learn whether you're a striker or not just anticipate a goalkeeping Parry or spillage and sometimes you'll get lucky it'll come your way Colombia get themselves into the lead still a fragile lead though they can't afford to sit on this [Applause] Colombia can SP a counter here Abram spots it and intercepts licked it back promptly Aras play back to the goalkeeper Aras chance to break Peru needed that they really needed it well I thought they got off lightly there the odds were stacked against them well played that has snuffed out the danger [Applause] Mina Colombia can certainly afford to see this half out now and reset during the break now that's been intercepted [Applause] opina sends that a long way no again there's no way through bado and there's his chance to lead the counter great ball if he can get there chance to shoot now chance [Applause] [Applause] and now they can spring out a [Applause] defense and if you have just joined us still just one goal between them one n the score [Applause] great defending strong and determined Aras and they can counter [Applause] here that will annoy the manager they're making themselves too predictable here good spot he's seen the run and vinula providing an outlet on that flank looks a foul yeah referee's given [Applause] it he gets a ticking off and needs to be very careful now well I think the referee would have told him to rain it in or or suffer the consequences Colombia come in having established that lead gave where the narrative is at least in terms of the score line so far so good whistle scor that's a [Applause] [Applause] foul and here's [Applause] Kio well he acknowledges that he should have come up with something better there ah he made it look a bit predictable turns back here probably the best option now it's Kio over it comes and he's there to get it away cha Defender is on the back foot spread out to the left there really wasn't very much in that not far away from being a telling final ball oh he's going to be pulled back for that [Applause] one passes short and sharp hoisted in there's the hit he's done very well to get to that the keeper really dug out his defense then a magnificent [Applause] effort defending of the a real chance Colombia can counter cromly here it's a throw in [Applause] qua moika Diaz that's a good intervention that was what he had to make in the face of danger that was growing and he's forced to go back just coming up to the hour mark and it's still 1 n cayen the message is clear nun Shall [Applause] Pass moika interesting ball MRE [Applause] Kio you can never be short of Runners into space as long as the space left behind is [Applause] [Music] fil always he's on to this yet another to add to football's endless list of could haves and should haves Peru clearly didn't help themselves by telegraphing that one it was always going to be intercepted [Applause] [Applause] played out to the Left Flank oh it's a nice idea but the execution was lacking oh that's well [Applause] spotted so Jim what are you thinking while this lead is beginning to look a little delicate I'd rather see them show the ambition and adventure to go further ahead but it seems as if they settle for a riskier approach now to defend [Applause] this steaming on go Woods [Applause] well it's good stuff this is better there is an irresistible irrepressible look about them here spot on Peter succumbs to the pressure wos no he's not getting his way this time Mina now then the balls come loose and now the break away that has been cut short ups for safety he's played him through CA moika and he's had it nicked away that's alert and sharp and very well played Diaz and that would have won it Diaz was totally aware of how that chance could have been impacted on the game and that should have gone [Applause] [Music] [Applause] in Andre Kio qua and it's Kio might be danger here oh sh a goal well this that's a foul three kicks been [Applause] given he's a sharp little ball here now there a f he's had a s Columbia surely have to be commended for their Drive and desire most teams would be taking the easier defensive route by now out to the left it goes oh he's found support out wide he is through here hits one it's there Peru on level lacking for neither time nor space it could scarcely have been more strength forward that's just a great finish but it's down to very clever movement you can see this has been obviously worked on on the training ground he knew exactly where he wanted the ball and it all came good great hits and no he couldn't find the Finish ibe has delivered a really costly miss it could have been their last chance to win it and it's hoisted clear Lumi just starting to get the first signs of rain here threads one in you wonder if that's it now but there may be one more opportunity Peter for a late late steal [Applause] here qua now it's Kio it's Kio oh that was no routine save well that was high class goalkeeping there to back up his his high class wage qua qua out to the right qua Keeper's got good distance on that that's it
