    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,
