In the first minutes, it did not seem that Brazil was able to play this match with a squad that included this many players Victims like Ederson Moraes, Carlos Casemiro, Neymar Jr., Gabriel Jesus, and others. In 4 minutes they not only delivered on two occasions, but also took the lead on the scoreboard through collective play and an assist from Vinicius Junior, which resulted in Gabriel Martinelli delivering a powerful blow to the Colombians.

Minutes passed and “la Verdeamarela” continued to dance to the tune of “la Tricolor”, she could not see where and James Rodriguez was far from physically competitive against speedy opponents, while Rafael Santos Borre redoubled his efforts to cover the number 10.But he was staying away from the area. Only Luis Díaz, with his amazing rebellion and the desire of the Guajero people that he represented, was able to lift Colombia.

Between the 15th and 20th minutes, there was an assist from “Lucio” for Jorge Carrascal to shoot the ball and another shot from the same Liverpool winger.But Alisson Becker was starting to become a character and drowned out the goal scream. The bad news for the Colombian national team came when Davinson Sanchez received the yellow card that he accumulated and was excluded from the visit to Paraguay next Tuesday, November 21.

At the age of 23, there was a new match in which Diaz was the protagonist, and as best as possible, the Brazilian defenders took him out of the penalty area.

The beginning of the second half was very similar to what was seen at the beginning of the match in the capital region, Brazil in front and attacking, but this time Colombia knew how to hold on and the change with the entry of Christian Borja gave Deiver Machado a goal. Solid on the left wing and a better partner for Diaz in attack. Yes in deed, There was a pass from Rodrigo and a pass to Rafinha that almost made it 0-2, but Camilo Vargas was the savior and kept the deficit to a minimum..

Minutes passed, Lucho continued to lead the attack, Carrascal was able to finish, and Alisson once again thwarted the goal cry.There was another shot from Diaz that went too wide and in another play, something that rarely happens to him, the ball passed between the legs of the Liverpool winger.

Another controversy occurred when Gabriel Magalhaes accidentally hit Santos Borre in the face, which the Colombian striker called for as a penalty kick, but which also went over the referees’ heads. And At the age of 67, this was the five-time world champion’s highlight, a shot that hit the post and silenced the crowd..

but The power of Luis Diaz He returned with a shot that came close to the goal and the crowd chanted a goal because he moved the net, then there was another intervention from Alisson that frustrated Diaz. But the same thing was not going to happen all night, and in the 74th minute, Borja’s wonderful cross came from the left side and “Lucho” Diaz’s header from the far post stunned everyone and resulted in a fair draw, especially in the match I was in. Doing guajiro.

Far from being a reason for Brazil to wake up, the equalizer was a driving force for the stadium to become a cauldron and Diaz to continue to advance, in this second half in the company of his teammates. In the 79th minute, the score became 2-1, after a pass from Richard Reus, a precise cross from James, and a wonderful header from Lewis.

They didn’t want to get there, but I had confidence they would get there because today there was a reason to score a goal and celebrate.” To make it history… Lucho is up to Brazil!.

In a broken voice, disturbed by what he had just gone through, Mr. Díaz responded to the journalist from Caracol Televisión:

Excited, I gained my freedom thanks to my son and all the Colombian people who supported me and my family, so I could leave this captivity. Thank you all with love… It means moving forward, continuing to work for sports in the province of La Guajira and Colombia, helping everyone who can help, making sacrifices so that other athletes can become talented, just like “Lucho” Díaz.
