Colombia's coach Jorge Luis Pinto reassured that despite a 5-0 loss to Paraguay in the Copa America, the team will not be defeated. Pinto emphasized that the loss is not a catastrophe and that Colombia has not been completely destroyed in terms of their footballing abilities, tactics, or morale. He stated that while they may have lost the game, it is not the end of the world. "We haven't given up, we will respond." Despite Colombia's strong start in their first Group C game, they missed a penalty and ultimately lost to Paraguay. Their defense, usually solid, struggled in the second half. Their next game is against Argentina, who won their first match 4-1 against the United States. Pinto stated that changes will be made, including varying the style of play and the players. He also drew a comparison between the current match and Colombia's 5-0 victory over Argentina in a World Cup qualifier in 1993, noting that both games had similarities.
