M
aking a grand return to World Cup after 16 long years, an
attacking Colombia recorded its best ever win in the finals
as it outclassed Greece 3-0 in a Group C match at Estadio
Mineirao, here on Saturday.
A sixth minute goal by defender Pablo Armero set the ball rolling
for Colombia and then Teofilo Gutierrez scored his first World Cup
finals goal in the 58th minute to leave Greece with a daunting task
to save the game.
Adding insult to injury, young talent James Rodriguez netted a
goal in the stoppage time for a superb finish to the contest, which
they dominated for most of the part.
The South American side was missing star striker Radamel Falcao
and centre-back Luis Perea from their ranks due to injuries but that
did not stop them from playing their brand of game. The
Colombians played with good pace and unsettled Greece with an
early goal through Armero. It was a risky ploy to push the full backs
up but it paid. Juan Cuadrado set it up for Colombia as he showed
great skills to dribble past a Greek defender, fed a low ball in front
of the post for Armero, who slammed it in to spark a celebration
of a kind. It was only second international goal for the 27-year Armero
for his country.
Conceding an early goal was a worry for Greece, a side which
had only 12 goals from 10 games during qualification. Greece strug-
gled to get an answer to Colombias tactics but gradually made it a
contest with several raids. They had chance to get equaliser in 28th
minute when Dimitrios Salpingidis tackled his marker to send a cross
into the area but Panagiotis Kones shot went over the bar.
Three minutes later, Georgios Samaras darted towards the area
from the left, got himself into a good position to aim at the post,
but his strike was collected safely by Colombia keeper David Ospina.
Colombia kept the lead intact, going into the break. The second half,
after a sedate start, produced scintillating stuff from both sides but
the day belonged to Colombia as it doubled lead in the 58th minute
through centre half Teofilo Gutierrez but Greece failed to grab
chances.
James Rodriguez sent the ball into the box, Abel Aguilar flicked
it and Gutierrez slotted home the deflection from close range. Greece
did not help its cause by missing the easiest of opportunity to reduce
the margin when Vasilis Torosidis volleyed a ball into the area but
Theofanis Gekasms header bounced off the underside of the cross-
bar.
The game slowed a bit with Greece almost having given up. In
a fantastic finish for Colombia, Juan Cuadrado ran forward into the
box after a free-kick. Rodriguez found the ball and slammed a left-
footer in to complete the grand win. Colombias Teofilo Gutierrez scores his teams second goal against Greece at the Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte in Brazil on Saturday AP
