Colombia draws 0-0 with Venezuela in Copa America clash
The HinduAn understrength Venezuela managed just one shot at goal for the second game in a row but shut out a superior Colombia at the other end to grab a 0-0 draw in its Copa America tie in Goiania on Thursday. Venezuela is one of only two nations never to win the Copa America and its already slim chances were damaged before the tournament began when eight players tested positive for COVID-19 and were forced to self-isolate. The damage was telling for Venezuela in a game where they mustered just one shot at goal compared to Colombia’s 17, requiring a dazzling performance from their goalkeeper Wuilker Farinez to keep a clean sheet. The result takes Colombia to the top of Group B with four points from their first two games, a point ahead of Brazil, who play their second match against Peru later on Thursday.
