After a disastrous start against Japan last week, Colombia got exactly what it needed against Poland in Kazan, Russia, on Sunday: A big 3-0 win led by its talented offensive trio: Radamel Falcao, James Rodríguez and Juan Cuadrado.
Rodríguez, who only played 30 minutes in Colombia’s opener against Japan because of a calf strain, created the first goal with a well-placed chip that found Yerry Mina, and then followed that up with a stunning assist on Colombia’s third goal, playing a perfect pass to give Cuadrado an easy run straight to the goal.
