Captain James Rodriguez and Cristian Zapata inspired Colombia to victory over the United States in the Copa America opener.
Colombia came and spoiled the party, easing to a 2-0 win over the United States in the Copa America Centenario curtain raiser in Santa Clara on Friday.
With the Copa America being staged outside of South America for the first time, there was plenty of hype surrounding the USA but the host nation was left silenced as captain James Rodriguez and Cristian Zapata inspired Colombia in the Group A opener at Levi's Stadium.
Zapata opened the scoring in the eighth minute after latching onto Edwin Cardona's corner for his first international goal and Rodriguez - attempting to put a difficult season with Real Madrid behind him having sat out the Champions League final last month - converted a 41st-minute penalty.
