The central defender Nicolás Díaz failed a pass, but recovered the ball in a spectacular way in the match between Chile and Colombia. The match for matchday 5 of Group A of the Pre-Olympic Sub 23 is being played at Hernán Ramírez Stadium in the city of Pereira.
In the 45+1 minute, Díaz wanted to play towards the Colombian area, but didn't count on the speed of Carrascal, who took the ball and headed to score the first goal of the match. However, the Chilean defender didn't fall behind and ran to recover the ball. The central defender slid inside his own penalty area to stop the Colombian attack and cleanly took the ball away.
Chile draws 0-0 with Colombia for the fifth matchday of the Pre-Olympic Sub 23. The 'Roja' must win, as a draw against the Colombians is not enough to advance to the next phase of the tournament, since both teams would have 7 points and the hosts would qualify due to goal difference.
In Group A, Argentina had already secured their place in the previous matchday. The 'Albiceleste' completed their great campaign in the group with 4 victories and no defeats or draws. With 12 points ahead, the second qualifier from this match between Chile and Colombia will be determined to accompany the Argentine squad.
