On September 5, 1993 during the world cup qualifiers for the 1994 world cup in the United States, Argentina and Colombia were to play a match in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires. This was a very anticipated match because both teams were very strong but Argentina has always had a massive footballing history. They had already won the world cup on two different occasions. The match ended 0-5 in favor of Colombia, leading this to be the most historic match ever played by the Colombian team.

This match was so special for us because we beat a great team with a great history in the sport in their own home by five goals. This result allowed the team to communicate with the other top teams letting them know that Colombia is no joke. This message was definitely received because Colombia all of a sudden Colombia became one of the favorites to win the cup but rather was eliminated early.

Here are some match highlights.
