Colombia secured a 2-1 victory over New Zealand in an International Friendly on 16 November, dominating proceedings through superior shot volume and efficiency. The hosts, operating in a 4-2-3-1 formation, generated 22 shots with 8 on target, translating to an expected goals output of 2.05—comfortably above their eventual tally. New Zealand's defensive approach yielded only 10 shots and 3 on target, with their xG of 1.01 reflecting limited attacking threat despite matching Colombia's shape. The visitors' goalkeeper made 4 saves from 6 shots faced, maintaining a 66.67 save percentage, though the underlying metrics (1.0 xG conceded) suggest the team was outgunned in terms of chance creation. Colombia's greater attacking intensity and clinical finishing proved decisive in converting their dominance into three points, whilst New Zealand's inability to generate sustained pressure from their compact 4-2-3-1 setup limited their comeback prospects. Colombia demonstrated clear attacking superiority in friendly preparation.
