Colombia hosts Argentina in round 6 of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 9th at Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez (Barranquilla)
Colombia started the selection successfully, with a 3-0 victory over Venezuela. But then the results worsened. In Chile, the Coffee Growers managed to score a point thanks to Falcao's goal in the 91st minute, but then they suffered two defeats from Uruguay (0-3) and Ecuador (6-1). Carlos Queiroz was not forgiven for such results. The Portuguese was replaced by Reinaldo Rueda, who did not call up James Rodriguez for the upcoming matches. He would have been remembered in case of a misfire, but Colombia managed to cope with Peru away even without the star from Everton. Everything was decided by the powerful ending of the 1st and the beginning of the 2nd half. The Colombians scored all three goals in the interval from the 40th to the 55th minute. Yes, they are ranked only 6th now, but Uruguay and Paraguay are ahead only in additional indicators.
