Goals from James Rodriguez and Macnelly Torres earned Colombia a win against Venezuela, but a pair of penalty misses leave a sour taste.
Carlos Bacca and James Rodriguez had penalties saved but Colombia overcame struggling nine-man Venezuela 2-0 in a World Cup 2018 qualifier at the Estadio Metropolitano.
James ensured Colombia took an advantage into the interval, slotting home from the edge of the box in the second minute of first-half stoppage time.
Colombia's onslaught continued after the break and the home side had a chance to put the match to bed when Wilker Angel was shown a second yellow card for fouling Bacca inside the area.
