The Colombian national team tied against Peru and saved a point in Lima, in one of the worst matches in the Néstor Lorenzo era.
In the first half, the Colombian national team suffered against the last-placed team on the road to the 2026 World Cup.
Clearly, in the first 45 minutes, James Rodríguez’s talent was lacking, in a game in which there were no ideas and where Peru was closest to scoring.
Sinisterra was unable to be effective, he looked insecure and lacked the ability to win one-on-one duels, which is where he ended up creating a gap that the Peruvians took advantage of.
In the second half, the departure of the full-backs Mojica and Muñoz made themselves felt and generated a little more depth for the ‘tricolor’.
However, the rest of the match for Lorenzo’s men, in the first 25 minutes, continued in the same way, with no changes, and without James being able to be the unbalanced player that was seen in the Copa América.
Until the 25th minute, the only thing Colombia was winning in was ball possession with 75% versus 25% for the Peruvians.

In the 68th minute of the match, the first goal came for the Peruvians, through Alexander Callens, who caught a ball inside the area after a corner kick.
Colombia’s equaliser came after a stunning corner kick from James Rodriguez at the near post, who headed the ball to Lucho Diaz who stood up and sent the ball into the back of the net.
The draw has the flavour of a defeat given that it is a game against the bottom team in the table and it left the question of whether the team is James dependent.
The ‘tricolor’ next game will be against Argentina on Tuesday, September 10 at the Metropolitano stadium in Barranquilla.
