Colombia passed in all subjects Santa Fe football but failed to define and not only that a frustrating beat Argentina in the match that opened the second round of Group A of the Copa America.
The home side pulled out of the sound field was rejected by the fans, at times verbally abused his players and asked others to Diego Maradona, a rallying cry all in Argentine football.
Only the goalkeeper Sergio Romero gave the carving on the local computer, which failed over and over again before a Colombian team tactical orders and a spiritual strength that spread to thousands of fans who cheered him on.
Zero defined the first time those of Sergio Batista, who repeated and even worse performance in the discrete tournament debut against Bolivia.
Hesitant on defense, weak in midfield and anemic offensively, Argentina did not go to rest at a disadvantage because Sergio Romero was lucid and expeditious in which he had to intervene because Dayro Moreno broke down a situation that will cost you forget the minute when he ran 25.
Colombia ceded ground and the ball the home team, with four well-focused defenses, half cap, four attack dogs were deployed defending and attacking and Radamel Falcao as a battering ram and the only player who did not pass the line ball when recovered.
But as soon as those of Hernán Darío Gómez defensive weakness discovered in Argentina began to cheer and to generate a sense of constant danger in the vicinity of Romero.
The Albiceleste did not stand in the midfield, where Javier Mascherano, very rustic, struggled alone against superior numbers in that area exerted Colombia and irrelevance of their slopes Ever Banega and Esteban Cambiasso, who never found their place.
Only Pablo Zabaleta stood up in the opening minutes with some interesting projections on the right wing, which had no continuity in any of the three strikers, including Lionel Messi unknown.
The first great chance to score was the Colombian team, after a cross from the left Moreno reached badly to be connected by Adrian Ramos in the center of the area on 19 minutes.
Six later, and after a rude error Gaby Milito, Moreno missed it alone, and Romero dropped on the floor, when many Colombians and fans celebrating the goal and the Argentines were resigned to their fate.
Also Ezequiel Lavezzi miscarried a dogfight for 34 minutes, a deep pass from Leo Messi, while Colombia was twice close to scoring for distant shots of Moreno and Falcao, before leaving the locker room. The Dutch AZ Alkmaar goalkeeper consummated injustice.
The first surprise was that the second part of 'Chechen' Batista tuck no hand in the team, which made itself at 62 with the proceeds of Fernando Gago and Sergio Aguero for Cambiasso and "Pocho" Lavezzi, respectively.
With less room for error, Argentina began to despair and to provide space to run by 'Bolillo' Gomez, who had two very clear chances on the feet of Fredy Guarin and Falcao, conjured by Romero.
With Gonzalo Higuain in the field, Argentina, and the rhythm of the fans threw the rest, but it definitely was not his night.
