Costa Rica stuns Colombia with 3-2 win
Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports10 changes to Colombia's starting 11 and an early Costa Rica goal doomed Los Cafeteros. Their loss plus the US win earlier against Paraguay means Colombia now advances to the knockout round of the Copa America Centenario as the runner-ups in Group A.
Colombia went into Saturday's match against Costa Rica already assured of a spot in the Copa America Centenario Quarterfinals. And because of the US's 1-0 victory over Paraguay just before kickoff, it knew it only needed a draw to advance as the winners of Group A – and possibly avoid a date with Brazil in the quarters.
