02:00 AM: Hello everyone and welcome to Khel Now’s LIVE COVERAGE of the Copa America Group D match between Colombia vs Costa Rica. The kick-off is just a few hours away! Please wait for 30 seconds for the Live blog to load.
Colombia are probably one of the most infirm sides in the competition after collecting their eighth consecutive win in the last match. They are yet to lose a match in the last 23 matches which is an impressive record for them. Nestor Lorenzo’s side secured a 2-1 victory in the opening match. James Rodriguez played his part in the match after providing two assists to help them win. A win here will see them progress to the next round.
Costa Rica put on a resilient display in the last match against Brazil to start their tournament with a draw. It was a complete team effort from them to nullify the threat possessed by them. Brazil attempted 19 shots against them in the last match but couldn’t only hit three on target. The defense didn’t allow their attacker to have any clear-cut chances. However, they will have to improve their attacking display after failing to register a single shot on target in the last match.
Player to Watch
James Rodriguez (Colombia)
James Rodriguez has made an impressive start to the tournament after delivering a player-of-the-match performance against Paraguay. He provided two assists to help the team secure a crucial win. Rodriguez looked sharp in the game as he created three chances for his teammates while also attempting two shots. He also helped the team by doing defensive duties by making 5 recoveries and an interception.
Patrick Sequeira (Costa Rica)
The Lugo goalkeeper had a wonderful game against Brazil as he made some wonderful saves to prevent them from scoring a goal. He deservedly kept a clean sheet in the last match. Sequeira is a calm and composed goalkeeper who makes him big in one-on-one situations. He also helps the team in set pieces as his tall physique helps him to claim high balls effectively. However, he would have to improve his passing after having just a 43% passing accuracy which is a poor record for a goalkeeper.
