Colombia beat Bolivia 3-0 this Saturday, at Rentschler Field, in the United States, in a friendly. Fluminense attacking midfielder Jhon Arias scored one of the goals in the Colombian victory. Jhon Córdoba and Luis Díaz were responsible for the other two goals of the match.
In addition to Arias, Colombia also had midfielder James Rodríguez on the field, who has an undefined future at São Paulo, and also midfielder Richard Ríos, a Palmeiras player. Both were starters.
Young midfielder Miguelito, from Santos, also participated in the friendly for the Bolivian side. The boy, however, entered the second half and was unable to change the score.
This was the last test for both teams before the Copa América. The competition, which will be played on North American soil, will begin next Thursday.
Colombia debuts on June 24th (Monday), against Paraguay. The game, valid for Group D, the same as the Brazilian team, takes place from 7pm (Brasília time), in Houston, Texas.
Bolivia, in turn, returns to the field a day earlier, next Sunday (23). The team faces the home team, USA, in Group C, at 7pm, in Dallas.
