Colombia coach Nestor Lorenzo praised his side's composure and attacking variety after they beat DR Congo 1-0 in World Cup Group K on Tuesday in Guadalajara to qualify for the round of 32 with a match to spare.
Colombia, who opened with a 3-1 win over Uzbekistan, moved to six points from two games after breaking down a disciplined DR Congo side, with Lorenzo saying his team had grown in performance despite the pressure of a tight contest.
