Munoz’s acrobatic strike secures win for Colombia against Spain

LONDON: In a thrilling friendly match between Spain and Colombia, Daniel Munoz etched his name into the history books with a mesmerizing acrobatic kick that sealed a 1-0 victory for Colombia. This monumental win marks Colombia’s first-ever triumph over the 2010 World Cup champions.

The encounter started with a cautious approach from both sides, with managers opting to rest key players during a lackluster first half. However, the intensity surged after the break, with Colombia emerging as the more determined side.

The pivotal moment arrived in the 61st minute when Liverpool’s dynamic winger, Luis Diaz, showcased his individual brilliance down the left flank. His precise cross found Munoz in the box, who executed a spectacular volley with acrobatic finesse, leaving the Spanish defense stunned.

Despite several opportunities, Colombia couldn’t capitalize further on their momentum, allowing Spain to cling on desperately.
