Spain beaten by incisive Colombia in pre-tournament friendly

The Liverpool striker put in a shift to remember against La Roja as Colombia stunned Spain in the English capital. Luis de la Fuente left most of the big guns on the bench including Barcelona starlet Lamine Yamal, Real Madrid skipper Dani Carvajal, first-choice keeper Unai Simon and Manchester City's Rodri.. However, they had little trouble dominating the game as they enjoyed more possession and looked more ominous than their South American counterparts.

Colombia manager Nestor Lorenzo decided to freshen things up at half-time and introduced James Rodriguez. And his throw of the dice changed the complexion of the game. Colombia started to gain more control and looked more threatening in attack and eventually, Daniel Munoz broke the deadlock with a superb volley after some superb work down the left from Diaz.

Diaz was undoubtedly the best player on the pitch.
