Two disallowed goals in lively game
Diaz generated five shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Tuesday's 1-0 win against DR Congo.
Analysis: Diaz may not have gotten his name on the scoresheet this time, but he was undoubtedly the most threatening player on the pitch, constantly looking to create space and get a shot off. He topped his team in shots with five, matching his teammate Gustavo Puerta, and was a constant menace throughout the game. However, it was not a perfect night for the winger, as he was caught offside five times and had two goals disallowed, which will be a frustrating note to take from an otherwise lively display.
Goal, assist in opener
Diaz recorded one goal on two shots and one assist on two chances created in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Uzbekistan.
Analysis: Diaz had an exceptional World Cup debut Wednesday, as the Colombian winger would go on to assist the first goal of the match when finding Daniel Munoz in the 40th minute. However, he would not stop there, as Diaz would then score a goal of his own in the 65th minute. This is no surprise from the winger after the season he had with Bayern Munich, likely to be a driving force of the Colombian team. These are unlikely to be his only goal contributions in his tournament, especially with a knockout stage spot on the horizon after three points in their first contest.
