Al 29′ came the second goal at the feet by Gerardo Arteaga, and at the moment Mexico looked much better than Colombia.

However, at the beginning of the second half, Colombia gave a surprise and in less than three minutes managed to equalize the match with a double by Luis Sinisterra at 52′ and at 52′.

And in style at the minute 68′ midfielder Wilmar Barrios gave him the advantage to Colombia with a real goal.

From that moment on, Mexico fell apart and could not have an honorable farewell before the 67,000 fans who attended the Levis Stadium, to see the last friendly match of El Tri before the World Cup of Qatar 2022.

In addition, this represents the first loss for Mexico in a farewell before the World Cup in the last seven disputed processes.

The bitter taste of the defeat caused the Mexican fans to lose control, who sang the homophobic cry, which caused the game to be stopped momentarily.

Finally, a Colombia, which is not qualified for the World Cup, was superior to the Aztec team that makes up Group C in Qatar 2022 with Argentina Poland and Saudi Arabia.
