Colombia opened the Copa America with a 2-1 victory over Paraguay that extended its winning streak to nine.
Daniel Muñoz scored in the 32nd minute and Jefferson Lerma in the 42nd as Colombia opened the Copa América with a 2-1 victory over Paraguay on Monday night that extended its winning streak to nine. Colombia, which had 66% possession, is unbeaten in 24 games since a 1-0 loss at Argentina in a World Cup qualifier on Feb. 1, 2022, winning 19 and drawing five.
Paraguay won in 1953 and 1979 and was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the last two editions. Rodríguez picked out a long cross to Muñoz for an open 8-yard header, Muñoz's second goal in 28 international appearances. Lerma scored on a glancing header from the middle of the penalty area on Rodríguez's free kick. Rodrigo Morínigo, a 25-year-old goalkeeper, made his national team debut after Carlos Coronel started in June friendlies against Chile and Panama.
