Luis Diaz scored for Colombia in the early hours of Saturday morning in the final round of CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying.

Liverpool's number 7 scored for his country in a 1-1 draw with Peru with a diving header from inside the six-yard box following a corner.

Diaz's strike came eight minutes from time and secured a share of the points for his country after a 68th-minute goal from Alexander Callens had given the hosts a narrow lead.

In the World Cup qualification in South America, the goalkeeper Alisson Becker played the entire game and kept a clean sheet in Brazil’s 1-0 win over Ecuador.

Rodrygo's attempt after half an hour was enough to decide the competition.
