Colombia narrowly edged the U.S. in a match filled with end-to-end action.
The USMNT had several dangerous opportunities early on, but failed to put any shots on target in the first half.
Colombia opened the scoring in the 32 minute with a scrappy Carlos Bacca goal.
James Rodriguez chipped a ball into the box to Santiago Arias who sent a header across the face of goal. A sliding Bacca appeared to get the faintest of touches on the ball and Tim Howard couldn't keep it out of the net.
