Recap: Colombia Advances Through Penalties

Colombia became the second team to make the quarterfinals, winning 4-2 after a scoreless draw. During the game, Colombia had an early chance when Carlos Bacca had an early run and a chance that went straight to Peru's keeper Pedro Gallese. Peru's best oppurtunity in the first half came when Paulo Guerrero's cross to Edinson Flores was headed over. In the 22nd minute, Colombia's James Rodriguez had a curler just outside the box hit the right post and Bacca's rebound went wide of the other post. Rodriguez had a free kick early in the second half that went straight to Gallese. Bacca also had a chance when his header also went towards Gallese. The best chance from both sides came in the 2nd minute of injury time, when Christian Ramos' header forced Colombian keeper David Ospina to make a jump to prevent the ball to pass the line. In penalties, Rodriguez, Juan Cuadrado, Dayro Moreno, and Sebastian Perez converted their shots for Colombia. But, Peru's Miguel Trauco had his saved by Ospina's foot, and Christian Cueva had his shot go over the bar, sealing the win for the Colombians.
