FIFA's match centre listed Uzbekistan against Colombia as a 2026 World Cup Group K fixture. ESPN's match page and Associated Press reporting carried by WSLS listed the final score as Uzbekistan 1, Colombia 3. The match was played at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
The Guardian reported that Daniel Munoz opened the scoring for Colombia after a Luis Diaz pass before half-time. Associated Press reported the goal came in the 40th minute. Uzbekistan's Abbosbek Fayzullaev equalised around the hour mark, a goal AP described as the country's first at a World Cup.
That milestone did not hold the match level for long. The Guardian reported that Gustavo Puerta set up Diaz for Colombia's second after Shomurodov was dispossessed, and that Jaminton Campaz added the third in stoppage time. AP reported that Diaz had a goal and an assist in his World Cup debut and quoted him saying Colombia needed to improve despite the win.

The match context changed because of the other Group K result. Al Jazeera reported that Colombia moved ahead in the group after Portugal and DR Congo had drawn earlier. AP said Colombia moved atop Group K, ahead of Portugal and Congo, and reported that Colombia next face Congo in Guadalajara while Uzbekistan play Portugal in Houston.
