I like this result for Colombia, given how many starting defensive players were missing (we had second-choice centre-backs, third choice goalkeeper and defensive midfielder, and fourth/fifth choice right back). Would’ve loved the win, given how much we got teased with it (two disallowed goals and a missed pen), but we also got saved by sheer luck several times, so I’ll take it.
Out of those, Castaño did great (should now be second choice behind Lerma/Uribe), Montero and Cuesta did OK (solid second choices for their respective positions), and Sanchez had a horrible brain fart in the first half but finished strong.
Mosquera was very bad (especially in the first half; I thought he was going to get sent off), but it was to be expected; with Cuadrado off the team, and Muñoz and Santiago Arias injured… we straight-up ran out of options. I feel that the team actually went out of their way to “carry” Mosquera through the game, deploying Uribe and Jhon Arias to cover for him as much as possible. It worked, but… yeah. He’s staying low-priority for now.
