Nicolás González had equalized for Argentina at the start of the second half, but a foul from Nicolás Otamendi, given after a video assistant referee (VAR) review, allowed Rodríguez to blast a penalty into the top corner and hand the lead back to Colombia.
Argentina is still without Lionel Messi after he sustained an ankle injury in the Copa América final in July, but manager Lionel Scaloni has said that he hopes the star forward will return for the next round of qualifiers in October.
Argentina has six wins from its eight World Cup qualifying games and sits two points ahead of Colombia, still unbeaten with four wins and four draws, in the standings.
