Colombia 2-1 Brazil in South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup

Colombian soccer player Luis Díaz went from hell to heaven this Thursday by scoring a double in the 2-1 victory of the coffee team against Brazil for the fifth date of the South American World Cup under the watchful eye of his father, released a week ago after 12 days kidnapped by the ELN guerrilla.

Two headers from the Liverpool winger (75th and 79th minutes) gave Colombia an unprecedented victory against Brazil in the World Cup qualifier.

The visit had gone ahead with a dressing room goal by Gabriel Martinelli in the third minute, at the Metropolitan Stadium of Barranquilla
