The goal scored by Larry Angulo, in the 50th minute, extinguished the fireworks of the fans who were expecting the comeback of the Ecuadorian team after Michael Hoyos' initial goal in the 6th minute, and ignited the joy of a handful of Colombians who supported the coffee team. The match had two different halves, with almost absolute dominance by the home team, but lacking precision to convert that dominance into goals. Meanwhile, the Colombians had a very good second half, attacking when they found spaces and defending with order in their own zone.
