The Colombian crowd saluted Luis Diaz for his performance against Venezuela last night.
Diaz featured for 88 minutes of Los Cafeteros 1-0 win, which was played in the Liverpool star’s home town of Barranquilla.
Although he didn’t have a hand in the only goal of the game, El Espectador report that fans at Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Melendez were in no doubt who the Man of the Match was.
Diaz was reportedly cheered by ‘the entire stadium’ as he made sure Colombia began their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign with a win.
Described by the paper as the ‘great figure’ of the match, it was a good night for the 26-year-old.
