At Estadio Azteca, Ciudad de Mexico:
Uzbekistan 1-3 Colombia
40' Daniel Mu|#oz
60' Abbosbek Fayzullaev
65' Luis D|!az
90'+9' Jaminton Campaz
Honest effort by Uzbekistan, but a deserved win for Colombia IMHO. Could
have been even closer, as after the Colombian third goal Uzbekistan
managed to hit the underside of the bar from a long range effort. But it wasn't to be for them.
Colombia wasn't too impressive, honestly, but they got the three points
and at the moment are at the top of the group.
And with this result, if the broadcast I watched has it right, Senegal
2002 remains being the last team to have won on their World Cup debut.
This time around Cura|oao, Cape Verde, Jordan and Uzbekistan had the
chance to match their achievement, but ultimately couldn't pull it off,
adding up to a lonely point amongst all of them on this first round of
the group stage.
Best regards,
