Nestor Lorenzo jokes about Davinson Sanchez's disallowed goal

Colombia head coach Nestor Lorenzo handled a controversial moment with humor following his team's match against Portugal. During stoppage time, defender Davinson Sanchez found the back of the net, but the effort was disallowed by VAR due to an incredibly tight offside call.

Despite the debate surrounding the decision, the Colombian manager insisted that the rules were applied correctly. Speaking at the post-match press conference, Lorenzo quipped that he would ask his defender to get a pedicure before the next game to avoid such situations.

I would ask him to go for a pedicure next time, but it is fair for everyone and we have no complaints about the case. Nestor Lorenzo

Davinson Sanchez delivered an impressive defensive performance against Portugal, keeping the opposition's attackers at bay. The central defensive partnership with Jhon Lucumi has been a standout feature for the 'Tricolor' during the 2026 World Cup, with the team conceding only one goal in their opening three matches.
