Colombia came to a halt in Venezuelan territory against a national team that traditionally neutralizes them, and with the 0-0 draw in San Cristobal, the Colombians were exposed in second place in the Russia 2018 Qualifiers, with Uruguay, Chile, and Argentina on their heels.
19-year-old goalkeeper Wuilker Fariñez was responsible for neutralizing three clear goal-scoring opportunities for Colombia.
In the first half, Vinotinto could have taken the lead with a powerful long-range shot that hit the crossbar of David Ospina's goal.
The fifteenth round left Colombia with 25 points and Venezuela, at the bottom of the standings, with 7.
The sixteenth round will be played on September 5th. Colombia will host the leader, Brazil, and Venezuela will visit Argentina.
