Colombia-Peru World Cup Qualifier

What it looks like when you go to get some roasted goat for dinner on a Friday night in Riohacha, only realise the streets are empty because almost literally every single person in town is in front of a TV watching the Colombia-Peru South American World Cup qualifying match, so you've got no choice but to leave the goat for another time and imbibe several local beers while standing at a tienda (aka open-air bar) and watching along instead.....

[NB: Colombia dominated the entire match, seemingly never leaving the box and taking shots almost nonstop. So of course they lost on a late counter from Peru. The locals were quite animated about this, but seemed expectedly disappointed and good-natured. The best part was after the match watching various people in the streets mimic their goalkeeper's complete lack of effort in letting the winning strike slip by his leg.....]
