The next day after Spain tore Italy's famed defense apart at the NRG Stadium in USA, helped massively by a brilliant Rodri, Colombia took on Iraq at the Mercedez Benz Stadium in USA.
(GROUP G:)
(Colombia vs Iraq)
(Venue: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, USA)
(Date: June 26th, 2026)
(Time: 16:00)
Having lost their first group stage game against a rampant Germany side, despite Luis Diaz's brilliant 2-goal performance, Colombia was out with a mission this time, and the fury of their determination was directed at Iraq.
Iraq were no weak team by any means, but faced against this spirited Colombia side, they could not do much to weather the storm.
Colombia started as early as the 6th minute of the game, and it was Luis Diaz again, taking the ball from the left before dribbling through the middle in his first meaningful contribution of the game.
