Tim Weah scored the lone goal of the match for the Yanks, who were done in by a pair of early concessions and a barrage of late goals from the Colombians.
Colombia struck twice in the first 20 minutes, getting a sixth-minute opener from Jhon Arias that was followed up a spectacular bicycle kick from Internacional forward Rafael Borré.
The US responded, finally pulling one back in the 58th minute through Weah. The Juventus winger ran onto a perfectly weighted pass from forward Folarin Balogun, lashing the finish to the far post to halve the deficit.
But Colombia would put the match to bed on 77 minutes, as Ríos found himself unmarked in the box for an easy finish against US goalkeeper Matt Turner. Jorge Carrascal and Luis Sinisterra continued the late onslaught, tallying insurance goals in the 85th and 88th minute.
