The team led by Nestor Lorenzo showed their intentions in the early minutes in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Then, just a few meters from the penalty area, there was a foul against the Colombians. The referee of the preparation match called a free kick from the side.
Two Colombian men lined up in front of the ball. At the same time, goalkeeper Antony Silva sent two of his teammates to form the wall. Meanwhile, there was a lot of movement in the penalty area, but the referee didn't notice. Despite a man falling on the ground, the authority's order came.
In this way, Juan Fernando Quintero delivered the cross towards the far post. In that place, Davinson Sanchez outmatched the man in front of him. Then, the Tottenham center-back advanced to connect with his head. The shot hit the ground and entered the net to beat the Paraguayan goalkeeper.
Colombians and Paraguayans met in the United States as part of the preparation for the Qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup. Initially, the qualification tournament will start in March of next year, but there is a possibility that everything may start only in June 2023.
