Colombia 2-1 Costa Rica: Pekerman lineup changes costly in Copa America

Colombia coach Jose Pekerman might regret his extensive changes as a 3-2 loss to Costa Rica cost his side top spot in Group A.

Colombia coach Jose Pekerman might be wondering if 10 changes was a few too many after his team went down 3-2 against Costa Rica in their final Copa America Centenario group game.

Pekerman and Co. looked to be in control of the group after seeing off the United States and Paraguay ahead of their final group game against Costa Rica, but their complacency was punished as they finished behind the hosts in disappointing circumstances, setting up a potential quarterfinal clash with Brazil in the process.
