Colombia's clinical finishing proved decisive in a dominant 4-0 victory over Mexico in an international friendly on 12 October, with the visitors' superior conversion rate making the difference despite modest shot counts. Mexico created more opportunities with 10 shots, but only two found the target and generated just 0.83 expected goals, whilst Colombia's four-goal haul came from seven attempts totalling 1.39 xG, with Luis Diaz and Jefferson Lerma among the scorers. The visitors' 4-2-3-1 shape proved more effective in transition, capitalising on Mexico's defensive vulnerabilities through ruthless clinical finishing. Mexico's goalkeeper maintained a perfect save percentage but faced limited high-quality chances, ultimately unable to prevent a comprehensive defeat that exposed significant gaps in the hosts' defensive organisation. Colombia's efficiency in front of goal underlines their attacking potency ahead of upcoming fixtures.

Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
