Uzbekistan 1:3 Colombia — Match Report
Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORTLuis Díaz scored one and assisted another as Colombia beat Uzbekistan 3-1 in the World Cup, setting up a July 4th meeting with Ghana. The result was a statement win for the South Americans, who had been given little chance by pre-match models but dominated from the start.
Colombia took the lead in the 41st minute when Díaz slipped a pass through for Daniel Muñoz to finish, though Abdukodir Khusanov had already been cautioned for a clumsy tackle on Johan Mojica. Uzbekistan equalised through Abbosbek Fayzullaev in the 61st minute, but Díaz restored the advantage five minutes later, turning in Gustavo Puerta's cross. Jaminton Campaz sealed the victory in stoppage time, converting Cucho Hernández's delivery.
Uzbekistan were never in this contest after the opening exchanges; Colombia were the better side in both halves and thoroughly deserved their win. CheckLive's model rated Uzbekistan marginally ahead before kick-off, a prediction that proved wide of the mark, though live signals correctly backed Colombia at 1.05 as the match unfolded. Colombia now face Ghana on July 4th.

Our preview favours Uzbekistan to edge a tight contest, driven by superior mental fortitude and a slight form advantage. Colombia's technical edge keeps them in the game, but the model sees the central Asian side as marginal favourites to take three points.
Who has better form heading into this World Cup match?
Uzbekistan hold the better form according to CheckLive's metrics, with a 56.8 rating against Colombia's 54.6. Both teams have three wins in their last five, but Uzbekistan's steadier overall performance tips the scales in their favour.
