Victor Ayala Scored The Goal Of The Tournament Thus far
I don't think it's crazy to say that most of the matches in the Copa America have been less than stellar. The Uruguay-Mexico match was probably the most entertaining thus far, but yesterday's Colombia-Paraguay match may have taken that title. After an early 2-0 deficit, the Paraguayans looked like they were going to be run out of the Rose Bowl. Then manager Ramon Diaz made some changes, including bringing on Victor Ayala, and it was game on. The next 45 minutes were an absolute dog fight and then the substitute rocketed home this golazo from 25 yards out.
It wasn't enough though, as the valient Paraguayan effort fell short. They will face the United States on Saturday in a do or die game for both teams. But that wasn't the only cool thing to happen during the match. The coin toss at the beginning of the game even made the highlight reel. The coin landed on it's side, which according to some smart person somewhere, is 6000-1 odds.
The odds of a coin landing on its side is 6,000-1. That happened in the Colombia-Paraguay match. #CopaAmerica pic.twitter.com/xDoWEPATme
