The "remontada" that Colombia played against Mexico in a friendly match at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California was not the most important event in the confrontation, but an incident in the stands grabbed the spotlight.
As the match progressed to its end, the referee blew his whistle in the 82nd minute to stop the match suddenly, only to find out that the reason was the chants of the fans in the stands against homosexuality.
Prior to this incident, Colombia had turned the table on Mexico, led by Leeds United striker Luis Sinistra, who scored two goals and Wilmar Barrios added another goal;
It came from two goals down to win 3-2.
Mexico advanced in the fifth minute through winger Alexis Vega from a penalty kick after Luis Diaz blocked Oriel Antona inside the area, and Gerardo Arteaga doubled the score in the 28th minute.
Colombia reduced the difference after the break with a powerful header from Sinestra in the 48th minute, and scored the second goal 3 minutes later.
Then Wilmar Barrios completed the return of Colombia with a great shot (67).
