The Colombian Soccer Team added a point in its second outing for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2025 by drawing 0-0 against its counterpart from El Salvador in a match played today, Friday, November 7.

Those led by Fredy Hurtado tried to dominate the actions from start to finish, controlling the ball and dictating the pace of the match against an opponent who opted for a purely defensive strategy.

The Colombian team, which formed with Jorman Mendoza in goal; Yaiker Moya, Edmilson Herazo, Jesús Peñaloza, Miguel Solarte in defense.

Also with Cristian Orozco and Juan José Cataño in the middle; and Matias Lozano, Deivi Quiñones, Cristian Flórez and Santiago Londoño in attack, faced a wall.

Despite the efforts of ‘La Sele’ to mobilize and disorganize the Central American team, it remained firm in a low block, closing the spaces and seriously hampering the progression and scoring options of the national team.

Throughout the 90 minutes, Colombia searched in different ways for the score to open the scoring, generating several dangerous approaches.

However, the Salvadoran goalkeeper emerged as the great figure of the match, showing a solid performance and frustrating every attempt by the tricolor offensive to prevent his goal from falling repeatedly.

With this result, the scoreboard did not move for either team, concluding the match with a goalless draw.

Now, Colombia must turn the page and focus its attention on its next rival, North Korea, which it will face next Monday, November 10, at 8:30 am (Colombian time) at the Aspire Zone complex in Rayán, Qatar.
