Colombia beat Venezuela with an own goal in a friendly in America

Colombia won their final match of 2023 in a friendly against Venezuela this Sunday. The match, held at Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (USA), ended 1-0 thanks to an own goal by Venezuelan player Andres Ferro.

Now, Colombia’s next match is on Saturday at 9pm (Brasilia time) in Los Angeles. The friendly was the team’s last match of the year. In 2024, the team will only return to the field in June when they make their Copa America debut against Paraguay.

In turn, Venezuela ended its season with a defeat. Like their opponent this Sunday, Venezuela will also make their Copa America debut against Ecuador at the end of June.

The only goal was scored in the 41st minute of the first half of the game. After a play on the left, the ball was sent to the second post. Andrés Gómez appeared free to touch the goal at the second post, but could not finish accurately and sent it to the left of the goal. However, before the ball came out, defender Andres Ferro got his feet on the goal and sent it into his own net.
