Manager Nestor Lorenzo went with a surprisingly attacking configuration, using former Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Jhon Arias as a centre-midfielder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea was to have him close to Luis Diaz on the left-hand side of the pitch. Meanwhile, James Rodriguez acted as a wide playmaker drifting inside from the right. It also meant that Munoz had attacking freedom and the whole right flank for himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051606\/team_-average-positions-2-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1459927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051606\/team_-average-positions-2-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051606\/team_-average-positions-2-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051606\/team_-average-positions-2-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051606\/team_-average-positions-2-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051606\/team_-average-positions-2-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051606\/team_-average-positions-2-1-267x267.jpg 267w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051606\/team_-average-positions-2-1-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051606\/team_-average-positions-2-1-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051606\/team_-average-positions-2-1-74x74.jpg 74w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051606\/team_-average-positions-2-1.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But the Colombian forwards performed a lot of moves to play in close proximity and drop deep near the ball. Striker Luis Suarez was the only one trying to stretch Uzbekistan&#8217;s defensive line but struggled on his own against three central defenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, the Cafeteros had plenty of possession and bodies in the attacking half, mostly down the central corridor, but little movement to test a disciplined and organised Uzbek defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051728\/momentum_vis_Uzbekistan1-3Colombia_26_FWC-1024x663.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1459928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051728\/momentum_vis_Uzbekistan1-3Colombia_26_FWC-1024x663.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051728\/momentum_vis_Uzbekistan1-3Colombia_26_FWC-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051728\/momentum_vis_Uzbekistan1-3Colombia_26_FWC-768x497.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051728\/momentum_vis_Uzbekistan1-3Colombia_26_FWC-1536x995.png 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051728\/momentum_vis_Uzbekistan1-3Colombia_26_FWC-2048x1326.png 2048w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051728\/momentum_vis_Uzbekistan1-3Colombia_26_FWC-400x259.png 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051728\/momentum_vis_Uzbekistan1-3Colombia_26_FWC-309x200.png 309w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051728\/momentum_vis_Uzbekistan1-3Colombia_26_FWC-93x60.png 93w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051728\/momentum_vis_Uzbekistan1-3Colombia_26_FWC-150x97.png 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18051728\/momentum_vis_Uzbekistan1-3Colombia_26_FWC-114x74.png 114w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as the momentum chart shows, things changed in the second half of the first half.

In the 32nd minute, Luis Diaz hit the post after getting on the end of a beautiful Arias through ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18045734\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-1-1-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1459926\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18045734\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-1-1-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18045734\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-1-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18045734\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-1-1-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18045734\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-1-1-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18045734\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-1-1-2048x1280.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18045734\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-1-1-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18045734\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-1-1-320x200.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18045734\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-1-1-96x60.jpg 96w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18045734\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-1-1-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/18045734\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-1-1-118x74.jpg 118w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Less than 10 minutes after that, Munoz went off-script and charged forward like a true number nine. It was his &#8216;wild&#8217; decision that put them ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And those were the only two times the Cafeteros managed to break through White Wolves&#8217; defensive line in the whole game. While it does say a lot about their approach coming out of the hydration break, it also shows how they gave up a little bit in the second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-flirting-with-danger\">Flirting with danger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Colombia changed completely after going 1-0 up. There was no rush or will to get anything else other than waste time and see the game out. They felt comfortable dropping their lines deeper and trusting Uzbekistan&#8217;s lack of technique and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But doing this while having James on the pitch and Arias as a centre-midfielder has a lot of risks. And when the White Wolves finally stopped looking for long through passes for their forwards to run into space and instead tried using Eldor Shomurodov as a target man up front to hold the ball, everything clicked.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/smarkets-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SBK betting offer<\/a>: Bet \u00a310, get \u00a340 in free bets<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Eligible readers* interested in this SBK betting offer can follow <strong><a href=\"\/en\/go\/smarkets?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">THIS LINK<\/a> <\/strong>or click the image below.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/go\/smarkets?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1422500\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145.png 625w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-233x300.png 233w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-208x267.png 208w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-156x200.png 156w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-47x60.png 47w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-117x150.png 117w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-31x40.png 31w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">New UK customers only.

But Nestor Lorenzo saw the risk and decided to take it anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their sudden change in approach right after conceding proved that they had just let go of the rope for a few minutes. Arias and Gustavo Puerta both pressed Shomurodov who had dropped way too deep and won the ball back to find themselves in a 5v3 situation. Puerta then found Diaz who put the Cafeteros in front once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Lorenzo, again, retracted his team after regaining the lead. They averaged 73% possession while drawing, as opposed to just 52% while ahead. It made for a nervy final 15-20 minutes before Campaz scored a header to make it 3-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colombia created much more clear-cut goalscoring opportunities than Uzbekistan (4-1 to be exact) and deserved to win. Still, there is a world in which this game ends like Qatar vs Switzerland, because it felt like the same script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it all worked out in the end for the South Americans who kick off their 2026 World Cup campaign with a win after missing out on the 2022 edition.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/world-cup-2026-betting-tips-predictions\/\"><strong>World Cup predictions &amp; tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/world-cup-outright-odds\/\"><strong>World Cup outright odds <\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/world-cup-2026-fixtures-results\/\"><b>World Cup fixtures &amp; results<\/b><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/world-cup-2026-betting-offers\/\"><b>World Cup free bets<\/b><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One slight adjustment gave Colombia the edge over Uzbekistan and unlocked what was a tough game until then.
