Radamel Falcao scored a 64th-minute penalty as Colombia got a measure of revenge on World Cup foe Japan in a 1-0 international friendly victory on Friday.

In a rematch of their opening World Cup Group H match last year, the Samurai Blue started just two holdovers from their 2-1 win over 10-man Colombia in Saransk — midfielder Gaku Shibasaki and center-back Gen Shoji.

Meanwhile Los Cafeteros, in their first match under Portuguese manager Carlos Queiroz, retained a handful of veterans from the World Cup clash, including star attackers James Rodriguez and Falcao.
