They deserved it. Colombia gave them a real tussle and had much
the better of it in the first half.They just lacked finishing power
and failed to attempt shots to from 50/50 situations.
And they ran out of ideas late in the game.
A 16th crown is no easy feat and they,not Brazil are the real football kings of South America.
More critical though is that great delay of over 90 minutes caused by a breakdown in security
with non ticketed folks breaching the gates to gain entry making for a sad state of affairs.
This will not be lost on FIFA who has earmarked this stadium for important games in the 2026
World Cup. A lot will be heard from the governing body in days to come .Not good visuals at all.
