Colombia will now encounter the Brazilians and host star Neymar, who will be a good match for James Rodriguez. What is most accurate about this match is that the absence of Suarez for a biting dispute created another superstar on the pitch.
"I'd like to congratulate the whole of Colombia because they deserved this. It's great to have a player like James Rodriguez, and his confidence was very high after our previous game," Colombian coach Jose Pekerman, told media.
