Colombia lost 0-3 against Uruguay on date 3 of the Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifiers. This is one of the worst matches of the Tricolor in recent years for Qualifying, but it should be the starting point for Queiroz to look for variants.
David Ospina (8): he was the savior of Colombia in the worst moment of the match. With three good saves, he closed the action when Uruguay stalked his goal in the first half. He could not do anything in the goals.
Juan Guillermo Cuadrado (5): Playing as a winger in the Colombian National Team does not seem to be an alternative. The Antioqueño did not suffer so much in defense, but in attack he did not weigh and went completely unnoticed. It only shone starting the second half, but it was only a few minutes.
Yerry Mina (4): after five minutes he made a mistake that ended in 0-1. Despite being the man of defensive security, that bad start generated in him a lot of mistrust for the rest of the game, especially to play.
Jeison Murillo (6): he was the most prominent in the defense of Colombia. Due to an alleged lack of him, they charged the penalty that ended in a goal, although the play was not very clear and the VAR did not invalidate it either. Despite that, his speed was essential to correct some errors.
Johan Mojica (5): it did not weigh at all in attack. The best thing about him has always been his offensive projection, but he did it very little during the 90 minutes of the game. In defense he also had a bad time in the first 20 minutes.
Wilmar Barrios (6): could only be 30 minutes. Although he made a good presentation, his departure was caused by a change in scheme and style of play that the Tricolor needed.
Matheus Uribe (6): The game began, he began playing as a connector between the midfielders and the forwards, but with the departure of Barrios he had to delay much more. He contributed in defense, but did not step on the Uruguay area.
Jefferson Lerma (5): He was also the protagonist of the play that ended in Cavani’s goal. Although the pass was already bad, Lerma was not attentive and well outlined to make the next pass. With the passing of the minutes he was finer in defense, but in attack he did not contribute as in previous games.
James Rodriguez (5): It was another weak game for the Colombian star. He began with the band, but there he did not have spaces. Then he was released to play in the center of the field, but he was always very well controlled by the Uruguayan midfielders. He lacked inventiveness, greater precision and agility because he also lost the ball that ended in a penalty.
Duván Zapata (6): Very few clear balls came to him to score. He had a shot at the post as the most important danger action for Colombia.
Luis Muriel (4): he was never found in the 59 minutes he played. He started on the left, but there it didn’t matter because Uruguay had a better presentation on the pitch. At minute 30 he went to the right, but there he lost and did not create any danger.
Luis Diaz (6): He was not a starter, but he entered 30 minutes into the first half. His arrival on the field put another dynamic in Colombia’s game and he was the man who opened the field on the left. However, in the second half he was lost.
Alfredo Morelos (5): once again they put him to play very close to the band, although this time on the right. Although he surely has very good intentions, he looks uncomfortable and has little production. As a second striker he could not have good goal actions either.
Edwin Cardona (5): He was the man they put into the field to give Colombia a cleaner start and more freedom for James. His entry to the field of play was not the expected contribution and the Tricolor could not take advantage.
