Coach Jorge Luis Pinto reassured that Colombia will not be defeated despite their 5-0 loss to Paraguay in the Copa America. Pinto emphasized that this setback is not a catastrophe, as it does not compare to uncontrollable events like natural disasters. He stated that Colombia has not been completely defeated in terms of footballing ability, tactics, or morale. Pinto emphasized that despite the loss, life goes on and the team will continue to work towards success. "We have not been defeated yet, we will respond." In their first Group C game on Thursday, Colombia controlled the game early on but missed a penalty in the 28th minute. Paraguay then took the lead two minutes later and Colombia struggled in the second half. Surprisingly, Colombia's defense had been solid leading up to the tournament, only allowing two goals in six games. Their next game is against Argentina on Monday, the favorites who started with a 4-1 win over the United States. Pinto stated that changes will be made, including variations in playing style and player selection. He also drew a comparison between the upcoming match and Colombia's victory over Argentina in a World Cup qualifier in 1993, noting similarities in the level of performance between the two games.
