Colombia could not succeed in Barranquilla: the team fell 0-1 against Peru on date number 15 of the qualifiers to World Cup Qatar 2022 and reduces their chances of qualifying for the biggest event in the sport.
Although the national team tried to end the goal drought, neither Cuadrado, James, Falcao, Díaz or Borja succeeded.
During the game, the team had several options, including a shot by Borja on goal that goalkeeper Gallese stopped. For his part, Édison Flores was in charge of scoring in favor of Peru at 85 minutes.
Thus, Colombia completed six games without scoring a goal and the defeat at home distances it from qualifying for the World Cup to be held in November.
Although the defeat of Colombia at home left the fans sad, the networks did not forgive and put humor in the key moments of the game.
