2026 FIFA WC: 'We Could Have Built A Bigger Advantage'. Colombia's Lorenzo Rues Missed Chances Despite 3-1 Win
FIFA World Cup: Colombia head coach Nestor Lorenzo admitted his side fell short of their best level despite securing a convincing 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan in their opening Group K match of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Goals from Daniel Munoz, Luis Diaz, and Jaminton Campaz helped Colombia begin their campaign on a winning note at the Mexico City Stadium on Wednesday. The result moved the South American side to the top of Group K ahead of their second match against DR Congo next week.
Despite the comfortable scoreline, Lorenzo felt his team should have made greater use of their opportunities, particularly in the opening half. “In the first half, we could have built a bigger advantage. We lacked finishing,” Lorenzo said after the match, as quoted by Xinhua.
