Luis Diaz Inspires Colombia to Victory Over Brazil in Crucial Match
Diaz Scores Brace as Colombia Comes From Behind
Emotional Night for Diaz as Father Watches From Stands
Luis Diaz inspired Colombia to a thrilling 2-1 victory over Brazil on Tuesday night in a crucial match for both sides in the Conmebol Qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Brazil had taken the lead through a goal from Neymar in the first half, but Diaz equalized for Colombia just before the hour mark. He then scored the winning goal in the 75th minute to complete a memorable brace and secure all three points for his team.
The match was also an emotional one for Diaz, as his father was watching from the stands after being released from prison earlier this year. Diaz dedicated his goals to his father and said it was a "special moment" to share with him.
The victory moves Colombia into first place in Group D, one point ahead of Brazil. Both teams have now qualified for the knockout stage of the qualifiers, but first place in the group will be decided in the final matchday on Sunday when Colombia face Paraguay and Brazil take on Ecuador.
