12/JUL/2005 -With temperatures reaching as high as 94F in the heat index,
both teams battled through the heat for 90 minutes.
Colombia proved the better team in the first half, tallying nine shots, while
denying Trinidad and Tobago a single shot on goal. However, it was not enough
for the cafeteros as both teams headed to the locker rooms empty handed.
It was much of the same in the second half as Colombia continued to put the
pressure on Trinidad and Tobago, while still limiting them to only two shots.
It was not until the 76th minute that the scoring draught was broken when Jamie
Castrillon headed the ball behind him to an open Abel Aguilar, who then sliced
the back past the diving goalkeeper, Kelvin Jack for the 1-0 advantage.
Continuing with the momentum, Colombia increased its cushion in the 79th minute
as Hector Hurtado slipped a pass into the net to take the 2:0 lead. A basic
give-and-go off a throw-in got that action started as Jaime Castillon threaded
the pass back to Hurtado who deposited it in the back of the net.
Colombia now advances to the quater finals.
