Uzbekistan vs Colombia 1:3 — Goals from Muñoz and Díaz in Different Halves Sealed the Win
Colombia beat Uzbekistan 3-1, backing up a modest xG edge (1.61 to 1.16).
Colombia vs Congo DR 1:0 — 8 Saves Kept It Level Until the 76th
Colombia beat Congo DR 1-0 in the Round of 32 thanks to a single Daniel Muñoz goal in the 76th minute.
Switzerland — Colombia 0:0: One Save Kept It Level
No goals and 7 points each in Group B is the sort of line that usually closes discussion before it starts.
Colombia — Ghana 1:0: One Goal, Full Control
The goalkeeper at one end had 7 saves to make; the goalkeeper at the other had none. That is the quickest way into this match, and maybe the cleanest. A casual viewer might shrug at 1 : 0 and file it under narrow escape, tense finish, one of those nights when a favorite leaves a little change on the table. But this was not that kind of evening. This was control with a stubborn scoreline attached: Colombia produced 2.18 xG to Ghana’s 0.26, spent long stretches in possession, and asked far more demanding questions all night. The funny part is that Jhon Arias had already put his name in the book before he put it on the scoreboard.
Colombia — Portugal 0:0: Twenty-Four Shots Met A Wall
Thirty-seven shots between the sides and not a single goal. Games like this get filed under boredom, but this one is better described as stubborn: Colombia out-attacked Portugal on every line of the sheet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the head coach of the Colombia national team?
Per the most recently analyzed match (Uzbekistan — Colombia) — Nestor Lorenzo.
How many players are in the Colombia national team's current squad?
26 players: goalkeepers — 3, defenders — 8, midfielders — 11, attackers — 4.
How often do Colombia's match results diverge from the xG-expected outcome?
Bravsen has analyzed 5 matches — average Crime Index 36, with 0 scoring 60+ (the threshold for an anomalous gap between the result and the xG model).
A goalless home draw with Portugal is Colombia's single most anomalous covered match out of 5 reviewed, Crime Index 56%. A moderate figure by the site's standards, but for a 0-0 it's still a signal: the underlying chance quality pointed toward a higher-scoring game than what ended up on the board.
One of the tournament's more predictable profiles
The team's average Crime Index across its 5 reviewed matches is 36% — notably below the typical 40-50% range: Colombia's results have largely tracked the quality of play, and the Portugal draw stands out against that calm backdrop rather than defining it.
Finishing slightly below the model
Across the 5 matches with calculated xG, Colombia generated 6.65 expected goals and scored 5 — a modest shortfall. Combined with the low average Crime Index, that points to a team creating chances broadly in line with its results, but finishing them a shade less efficiently than expected — a gap that can cost decisive points over a tournament run.
