Colombia defeats Jordan 2-0 in final World Cup warm‑up match

Colombia's national football team secured a 2-0 victory over Jordan in their last preparation match before the 2026 World Cup. Midfielder Jhon Arias scored both goals, the first from a cross‑field pass by James Rodríguez before halftime and the second after a quick combination on the right wing involving Jefferson Lerma, James Rodríguez and Santiago Arias. Goalkeeper Camilo Vargas kept a clean sheet, and the defensive pairing of Davinson Sánchez and Jhon Lucumí was praised for its solidity. The match took place at Snapshot Stadium in San Diego under coach Néstor Lorenzo, providing a final tactical test ahead of the tournament in Mexico. The win reinforces Colombia’s confidence and collective play as the squad finalises its line‑up for the World Cup later this year.
