THE LOWDOWN — THE FULL HISTORY
1962
At Colombia's first World Cup, they trailed the USSR 4-1. In goal for the Soviets was Lev Yashin, regarded as the greatest goalkeeper ever.

Marcos Coll struck a corner straight into the net, with no touch and no deflection. It is 'el gol olímpico': the only Olympic goal in World Cup history.
THE RESULT
Colombia came back to draw 4-4.
