Colombia national football team has started its participation in the World Cup 2026 with an important win. Luis Díaz, the Bayern Múnich striker, was the protagonist of Colombia's victory over Uzbekistán, which was making its World Cup debut. Díaz scored the 2-1 goal after a steal by Gustavo Puerta and also assisted Daniel Muñoz to score the first goal for Colombia. The Asian team showed itself to be competitive and well-organized, but the joy of the 1-1 tie only lasted three minutes. And then Díaz made his magic happen. At 29 years old, the striker is in the best moment of his career. Of course, he is a star of football, as demonstrated by his time at Liverpool or his signing with Bayern Múnich for 70 million euros. But on occasion, he has been accused of not appearing in important games. The Champions League campaign he had with the German team was one to frame, decisive in the matches against Atalanta and Real Madrid. The World Cup is another opportunity to leave his stigma behind. So, Colombia national football team has a great opportunity to advance in Group K. The goal-scoring duel has begun and Luis Díaz is ready to leave his mark. The Estadio Azteca was witness to Colombia's victory and the anthem sounded like it was in Bogotá or Medellín. The players shouted it, the fans sang it. The first day of the World Cup has ended and Colombia national football team is on the right path. But the question remains, can they keep this momentum going? Only time will tell. For now, Colombia national football team is enjoying its victory and looking forward to the next match.
