Referee maurizio mariani

Referee Maurizio Mariani: James Rodriguez scored one goal and set up two others to help Colombia crush Panama 5-0 to enter the Copa America semifinals.

It took just eight minutes for Colombia to take the lead. Rodriguez's in-swinging corner found Jhon Cordoba, whose header beat goalkeeper Orlando Mosquera at his far post.

Referee Maurizio Mariani pointed to the penalty spot later when Mosquera tripped Jhon Arias as the winger drove into the box. Rodriguez gave Mosquera no chance by thumping the resultant spot-kick into the top-right corner, reports Xinhua.
