Colombia had already advanced before this match, earning a berth in the quarterfinals with a win over Paraguay on Tuesday and Costa Rica was eliminated from contention with the United States’ 1-0 victory over Paraguay earlier on Saturday.
The loss makes Colombia’s path in the tournament more difficult as the team will likely face Brazil in New Jersey because of the loss. The Los Cafeteros would have drawn either Ecuador or Peru with a win.
