He surpassed the previous record of 25 goals, held by Arnoldo Iguarán, when he scored in a 2–2 draw with Spain in a friendly in June 2017. Falcao scored nine goals during Colombia's 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign, but an injury sustained while playing for his club team Monaco in January 2014 ruled him out of the finals. His first FIFA World Cup finals appearance came four years later in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, with his 74th cap, against Japan in a group stage match in June 2018. His first goal in the tournament came in his following game, a 3–0 group stage victory over Poland.
