Highlights and scores of Colombia vs Brazil match

Colombia vs Brazil match: Colombia held Brazil in a thrilling game to a 0-0 draw on Sunday, ending Brazil’s nine-game winning streak in the South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup.

Both teams played an open match in the heat of the Caribe, but neither created many scoring opportunities, especially in the stunted opening hour.

The game came to life in the final half hour as both teams pressed to win. But both goalkeepers showed excellent long-range saves to keep the game scoreless.

The result places Brazil at the top of the group of 10 with 28 points, nine ahead of Argentina, who will play Uruguay later on Sunday. Colombia is fifth with 15 points.

The top four teams automatically qualify for Qatar and the fifth placed goes to an inter-regional tiebreaker.

Brazil remains undefeated after 10 heats, but their short passes in and around the area were met by a determined Colombian defense.

Especially in the first half in front of a passionate crowd in Barranquilla.

After an uneventful first 45 minutes, the game came to life during the second half.

Brazilian Alisson was the more active of the two goalkeepers, thwarting long-distance attempts by Mateus Uribe and Juan Fernando Quintero.

While substitutes Antony and Raphinha brought the Brazilian attack to life and forced David Ospina to force important saves.
