Although ‘la Tricolor’ suffered to overcome the Peruvians, in the end they achieved the victory with a great performance by Luis Díaz and a goal from the Juventus player who, in addition to his great quality, cut a long streak. And it is that the free kick goal of Juan Guillermo Cuadrado in Colombia VS Peru for third place in Copa América 2021 tied the game at the time and directed the result to be third.
But in addition, it led to a direct free kick to the goal again, after 3 years of the last one that was seen and also that it had the peculiarity that it did not go over the barrier. Just like the one we saw at the Mordovia Arena in Saransk on June 19, 2018.
Video: Cuadrado’s free kick in Colombia VS Peru for third place in Copa América 2021 and a streak that went away
Arriving at minute 48, when the Colombian team lost 0-1, the Antioqueño took the ball to collect a free kick close to the area, which was signaled after a foul on Stefan Medina. And, to the surprise of many, since he does not usually stand out in this facet of the game, the ball ended up entering the goal thanks to the fact that it passed through the only gap that arose in a barrier that was separated.
Cuadrado’s goal not only served to tie the game, which ended 3-2 in favor of Colombia, but it was the first from a direct free kick since Juan Fernando Quintero’s goal against Japan in the 2018 World Cup in Russia. And not only that. , but since that triumph against the ‘Japanese’, 35 games have passed. This shows that ‘la Tricolor’ does not know how to take advantage of these occasions.
Before Quintero’s score, you have to go back to 2012 to see another goal from a free kick in the Colombian team. This time scored by James Rodríguez in the 2014 World Cup Qualifiers, in a match that ended in a 3-for-1 victory for the Colombian team against Chile in Santiago.
We will have to wait if, from now on, the Colombian team manages to be more effective when it comes to collecting free throws, because, according to what could be seen, for there to be a score of this type, we have to wait many years.
