Colombia have taken a lead over the USA just eight minutes into the Copa America Centenario. From a corner kick, center back Christian Zapata was left all alone at the top of the box. The defender walloped a volley low and hard past Brad Guzan to peg the U.S. back early on.

The goal was a result of some bad marking in the box by the USMNT, but some credit must be given to Colombia who ran a very nice set piece play off the corner kick.
