    GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL! Martinez gives Colombia a huge lead in the competition and what a goal that is! Just as Argentina started to look dangerous, and he hits it into the right hand corner, that is superb.

    That was almost it... Finally a moment of magic from Messi tonight going through the legs of Davinson Sanchez but in the end he is stopped, Leandro Paredes is booked in the process for dissent.

  • 50'
    Everytime the Argentines get on the ball they receive quite a fair bit of booing, not sure its particularly bothering them, but having said that they've yet to reach the sort of levels we'd expect of them.
  • 46'
    CLOSE! That's as close as we've come so far this game, with Leandro Paredes having a long range effort drift narrowly wide.
  • 46'
    Second half kick off!
  • 45'
    Here come the two sides for the second half... Not been Messi's game so far, not really been anyone's game to be honest, hopefully we see a much better second half...
  • 45'
    HT: Argentina 0-0 Colombia. That's the third consecutive match of this competition that has been 0-0 at the break... Hopefully we a second half more like last night rather than the one from earlier today. So far this has been far from a thriller...
  • 45'
    3 minutes of added time.

  • 38'
    James puts in a free kick but the header goes nowhere near the goal and it remains 0-0
  • 34'
    Neither side really pressing each other, it's far too comfortable for both sides on the balll
  • 30'
    OOOH, Argentina almost put themselves under pressure there... James Rodriguez nearly profitting from it but Otamendi comes to save the day.
  • 25'
    Argentina have had a lot of ball, but to be honest they've had most of it in their own half... Colombia not bothered one bit...

Start of match

Start of match

  • PRVW
    The stadium is absolutely popping off tonight in an incredible atmosphere here, the World Cup was disappointing last season for both of these sides, and they will be hoping that they are defending their crown when they joint host the competition next year.
  • PRVW
    The anthems are being sung, starting with Colombia.
  • PRVW
    So then kick off is appraching us here, the anticipation is clear, two South American heavyweights about to come together in the biggest game in the competition so far.
  • PRVW
    For Colombia, Duvan Zapata is the big call, with Radamel Falcao kept for his experience for the Colombians tonight.
  • PRVW
    So then for Argentina the obvious big call is that of leaving Paulo Dybala out of the starting line up, with the Attacker struggling to get into any team at the moment.
  • PRVW
    And here is Colombia's team: Ospina; Stefan, Mina, Sanchez, Tesilo; Cuadrado, Barrios, Uribe; James, Falcao, Muriel.
  • PRVW
    So then we have our first lineup. Argentina's team is out and is as follows: Armani; Saravia, Pezzella, Otamendi, Tagliafico; Lo Celso, Rodriguez, Paredes; Messi, Aguero, Di Maria.
  • PRVW
    We shall analyse the teams very shortly, with both sides looking to get off to the best possible start in their opening game of the tournament.
