The Coach José Néstor Pékerman Reacts Strategically

The coach José Néstor Pékerman read the game very well, went onto the field with his proposal and with the idea of keeping two forwards. However, the game circumstances forced him to sacrifice one of these players and send an additional midfielder onto the field.

Teófilo Gutiérrez left the game at the 23rd minute to make way for Edwin Cardona. A forward sacrificed to contain Argentina's offensive power. Biglia, Messi, Agüero, and Di María made the Colombian team work hard in the midfield.
