Bournemouth winger Luis Sinisterra scored one goal and set up another as Colombia cruised to a 4-0 home victory over Chile in their World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.

Davinson Sanchez gave the hosts the lead in the 34th minute at Estadio Metropolitano by heading home after James Rodriguez's corner was flicked on by Jhon Lucumi.

Luis Diaz doubled the advantage shortly after halftime as he capitalized on chaotic defending by the visitors. Benjamin Kuscevic's rushed pass out of defense was intercepted by Rodriguez and the Rayo Vallecano playmaker then squared the ball to Diaz, who swept home from 12 yards.

Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran made it 3-0 when he combined with Sinisterra on the counterattack before angling a left-footed shot into the far corner.

Sinisterra, who was a 76th-minute substitute for Diaz, completed the rout in the third minute of stoppage time with a close-range finish after his initial attempt was blocked by goalkeeper Brayan Cortes.

"We are ready for big things," Duran said after the mach. "We have formed a group that is hungry and prepared to work hard."

"We feel like we're improving with every game but we have to stay humble, continue to work hard and we'll see how far we can go."

The result leaves Colombia second in the 10-team South American zone standings with 19 points from 10 games while Chile are last with just five points so far.
