Colombia U20 headed top of Group C with a win over Qatar U20 in the first group match of the FIFA U20 World Cup, thanks to a first half goal from Joao Rodriguez.
It was a game of two very distinct halves as Carlos Restrepo's Colombia side dominated proceedings in the first 45 minutes before the second period saw a rejuvenated Qatar side comeback to form and challenge the Colombian defence.
Los Cafeteros fans in the Waikato Stadium in Hamilton, New Zealand celebrated with relief at the final whistle after a second 45 minutes of watching Qatar pound their goal with chances.
