| An improved second half performance from Argentina cemented them
in third position in the South American qualifying group.
After a forgettable first half, in which both teams had credible
penalty claims waved away by the referee, Argentinian coach Diego
Maradona changed his side's formation, reverting to four at the
back, and was rewarded with an improved display.
The crucial goal came after 55 minutes. Juan Sebastian Veron's
corner wasn't cleared, and centre back Daniel Alberto Diaz, lurking
at the back post, kept his cool to volley into the roof of the
net from eight yards.
Although Colombia had two good chances to level which they failed
to take, the home side just about deserved their victory.
