Vela Colombia: Falcao (4') J. Cuadrado F. Guarin (67') MOTM: J. Cuadrado - Colombia (9.0) A fantastic opener to WCQ in the Americas as Mexico and Colombia played an intense, high-throttle 1-1 draw. Colombia got on the board early after chasing down a loose ball deep in Mexico's defensive third. A quick cross from Cuadrado found Falcao's head in the 4th minute and quickly stunned the Mexicans. However, the CONCACAF squad recovered by maintaining possession for much of the next 25 minutes, eventually scoring in the 25th. A corner found the head of Vela, who passed it to Rodriguez's feet as the center back finished off the underside of the crossbar to tie the score. Both teams continued to trade quality opportunities for the final 65 minutes but neither could finish to break the draw. It places a heavy emphasis on the remaining qualifying matches for both squads, as they look to reach Brazil. GG juanchoCT14

USA had a few good chances from Dempsey and Donovan that went wide but were very close. Luckily Uruguay finally got something going thru Suarez's driblling because their first performance in qualifying looked terrible. GG
