Colombia vs Costa Rica: All-time head-to-head record | Copa America 2024

Costa Rica held Brazil to a 0-0 draw in opening game

Colombia’s first 20 minutes of the encounter against Bolivia were disappointing, but ultimately they managed to convert the majority of their possessions into points.

With 68% of the ball in their opening game and two goals from three targeted attempts, Nestor Lorenzo’s team set themselves up for a sixth consecutive win in the last eight appearances.

In all competitions, Colombia have won nine straight games, seven of which were decided by a single goal. They have the opportunity to win back-to-back group stage matches in this competition on Friday, which would be their first group win since 2019.

Costa Rica accomplished an incredible feat in their first game, despite not getting a look at the Brazilian goal and defending for most of that encounter.

Gustavo Alfaro’s team made history on matchday one by being the third CONCACAF team to prevent Brazil from scoring in this championship, after Honduras (2001) and Mexico (2001 and 2007).

Costa Rica had only 26% possession and an expected goals ratio of 0.03 against Brazil, who outclassed them in practically every area. Luckily for Los Ticos, statistics do not decide the outcome of a match. Costa Rica haven’t lost in four games—their longest winning streak since the days before the 2022 World Cup.
