Colombia, to the World Cup partially
The play was born from the right wing with a sound center of Santiago Arias that crossed the Bolivian defense.
James, arriving from behind, advanced to his score and, with all coldness, defined precisely to the farthest stick of the visiting goalkeeper. It was a quality and leadership goal, just when the selection needed the most.
The midfielder, who currently militates in Mexican football, once again showed that he always transforms in the yellow shirt. Not only was the driver of the game, but also the most insistent in the first minutes, and his reward came in the form of a goal to unleash the party in the stands. With that score, Colombia is staying with the three points that assure the World Cup ticket.
James's goal not only means the advantage on the scoreboard, but also the confirmation of a team that knew how to get up in the final days to meet the goal. The captain responded again in the big appointments and, if this result is maintained, Colombia will celebrate from Thursday its classification to the 2026 World Cup, with the captain as a symbol of a generation that continues to dream big.
