World Cup: Falcao, Cuadrado fashion Colombia win against Poland, FT 3-0



 When the stakes are as high as an exit from the world cup for both the competing teams, one expects to see a hard-fought game. However, the match between Poland and Colombia was nothing like it. Colombia was a team on a mission to win and Poland came out on the field to make sure Colombia accomplishes the mission.

Such lack-lusture was the performance of Poland that they have become the first European team to be eliminated from the World Cup. Colombia dominated the game right from the kick-off. While Colombia played a well-organised team, Poland hinged and waited for Lewandowski to produce some magical moment. It never happened.

Mina was first one to score for Colombia in the 40th minute of the game, giving his team the lead with a wonderful header. The pressure mounted on Polish side as Falcao scored an amazing goal, doubling the lead for Colombia. Polish players did make some moves but they just could not complete them. They lacked finishing touch.


Scattered all over the field, lack of a playmaker who could make a definitive and productive move, missing golden opportunities were the reasons for Poland's defeat. Adding insult to the injuries, Cuadrado scored the third goal for Colombia in the 74 the minute, sealing a comfortable victory for his team. 

With this win, Colombia stand a good chance of progressing to the round of 16 of the world cup. Poland will play against Japan and leave for their home soon after.
