  • 94'
    FT: Senegal 0-1 Colombia. That's that! Yerry Mina's goal secures Colombia victory and they and Japan advance to the lest 16 to face either England or Belgium. Senegal go home, owing to having more yellow cards than Japan. Football can be a cruel sport sometimes.
  • 93'
    Muriel looks to be away one-on-one but he is denied by the offside flag.
  • 92'
    Senegal are doing their best to press but Colombia are repelling their attacks.
  • 90'
    4 minutes added on.
  • 88'
    Falcao makes way for Borja for Colombia, who will go through even if they concede here, albeit it in second place.

    Sakho is on for Niang for Senegal. Last throw of the dice for Aliou Cisse.

at Colombia
  • 83'
    Lerma replaces Sanchez for Colombia.
  • 82'
    A reminder, Senegal are going out on yellow cards as things stand. Two booking or a red card for Japan would level that out.
  • 81'
    Ospina is off his line quickly to gather the ball as Senegal looked to be in.

at Senegal
  • 80'
    Keita Balde is replaced by Konate.
  • 79'
    CHANCE! Sarr meets a ball in from the left at the far post be he side-foots well over. A great reaction from the 'Lions of Teranga'.
  • 78'
    CLOSE! A corner comes in from the right and Mina inadvertently heads the ball back toward his own goal and a green shirt is on the hunt but Ospina just gets there in time.
  • 77'
    CHANCE! Niang rolls Mina and blasts an effort at goal but Ospina parries it away.

Goaaaaaal!
de Colombia en el 74'
  • 74'
    GOAL! COLOMBIA! MINA! 0-1! The Barcelona centre-back gets the run on his man to meet Quintero's right-wing corner and power a header beyond N'Diaye and into the back of the net! Colombia are top of the group and Japan are going through as it stands!
  • 73'
    Sabaly is replaced by Wague.
  • 72'
    Sabaly is forced off through injury. Senegal don't have a substitute ready so they're temporarily down to 10.
  • 70'
    Sane slices a cross from the right back towards his own goal, but it is so tame that it poses no problem for N'Diaye.
  • 67'
    GOOD GOALKEEPING! N'Diaye has just absolutely clattered Muriel as he threatened to race in behind. He gets the ball, the whole ball and nothing but the ball though. That's how you dominate your box.
  • 66'
    Falcao heads the resulting corner well over the bar. Colombia are knocking on the door a bit here.
  • 65'
    CLOSE! A free-kick from deep drops to Muriel on the edge of the box and he hammers a volley goalwards, only for Koulibaly to block it away for a corner, not that he knew much about it.
  • 63'
    Oh dear, Mane's standing foot goes from underneath him and his effort loops into the back of the stand. Watch your heads in row Z, lads.
  • 62'
    Sanchez tugs back Mane once again and it's another dangerous free-kick for Senegal. 25 yards out, just right of centre.
  • 61'
    HUGE NEWS from the other game in the group. Jan Bednarek has given Poland the lead against Japan, meaning that as things stand both of these sides will go through, with Senegal topping the group.
  • 60'
    An hour gone and it is very much still up in the air here:
  • 55'
    Mojica swings in an inviting cross from the left and N'Diaye is in no man's land, fortunately for him Sabaly is there to head away the danger.
  • 52'
    Some rough treatment from the Senegalese sneaking in now. If you can beat them... beat them?
  • 49'
    Colombia have started slightly more positively in this second half and they have to otherwise their World Cup journey will end here in Samara.
  • 46'
    Colombia get us back underway here! A reminder that they need a goal if they are to progress...
  • 45'
    HT: Senegal 0-0 Colombia. Goalless at the break here. Senegal have been the better side, though they failed to really create any gilt-edged chances, having seen a penalty overturned by VAR. Juan Quintero's free-kick is the closest the South Americans have come.
  • 45'
    Koulibaly comes across to cover with Cuadrado trying to get to the byline to cross.
  • 45'
    3 minutes added on.
  • 43'
    Niang looks to slip in Baldeon the edge of the box but the pass is just too long.
  • 41'
    It's looking like we'll be level going into the break here in Samara.
  • 38'
    Defender Salif Sane tried his luck from the set-piece but he blazes high over the bar after having the ball laid into his path.
  • 36'
    Sanchez brings down a driving Mane and Senegal have a free-kick 30 yards out.
  • 35'
    N'Diaye drops a cross from deep but recovers to claim the loose ball.
Substitution

Substitution

at Colombia
  • 31'
    Look away now Colombia fans! James is off. He appears to have suffered a recurrence of that injury he was struggling with and Luis Muriel is on to replace him.
  • 28'
    Sarr cuts in from the right onto his weaker foot and you can tell as his strike is the very definition of tame. If Opsina were wearing a cap he could have thrown it on that.
  • 27'
    CHANCE! Mane gets in down the left but his cross-cum-shot is blocked by Sanchez. The loose ball falls to Balde but his curling effort is easily gathered by Ospina.
  • 26'
    James flights the ball in and Falcao gets across his man to meet it but he can only head wide. It wouldn't have counted anyway though, with the linesman flagging.
  • 25'
    Quintero gets the slightest of nicks from Gueye and immediately hits the deck. The referee buys it and Colombia have a free-kick in to decent position to attack.
  • 23'
    Another over-hit cross from Senegal, Sabaly the culpable party this time. They're getting forward well and getting men in the box but the quality of delivery needs to improve.
  • 21'
    Niang swings in another Senegal free-kick from a decent position on the right but it is far too close to Ospina and the Arsenal man gathers.
  • 17'
    NO PENALTY! Davinson Sanchez brings down a marauding Sadio Mane with a sliding challenge in the box and the referee points to the spot. However, VAR steps in to show that the Tottenham man got something of the ball and the decision is overturned.
  • 15'
    Mane looks to slip in Niang with a first-time pass on the edge of the box but his team-mate doesn't read it and the danger passes.
  • 13'
    Quintero is the man to take it and he opts to go low to the side of the goal N'Diaye is protecting, with the goalkeeper shovelling the ball away for a corner.
  • 11'
    Falcao is sandwiched by Sabaly and Koulibaly as he challenges for a header and Colombia have a free-kick 25 yards out in James territory.
  • 9'
    Balde swings the ball in but it is poor and Ospina claims.
  • 8'
    Arias brings down Balde out on the left giving the Lions of Teranga a chance to put the ball in the mixer.
  • 5'
    Cuadrado gets on the ball for the first time but his cross is blocked away to safety.
  • 3'
    Senegal are just about on the front foot early on here as Koulibaly overhits a ball for Mane and it runs out of play.
  • 1'
    An ambitious early effort from Balde on the turn rises well over the bar.
  • 1'
    We're off! Senegal get us underway!

Start of match

  • PRVW
    Senegal have suffered just one defeat in 7 World Cup games, making their loss percentage of 14,29% the lowest in the competition's history.
  • PRVW
    The players are out on the pitch for the anthems and we're minutes away here!
  • PRVW
    Senegal have faced South American opposition just once before in the World Cup, drawing 3-3 in the final group stage game in 2002 against Uruguay.
  • PRVW
    James Rodriguez is without a doubt Colombia's star man, but a booking today could see him miss the last 16, should his side make it of course.
  • PRVW
    Colombia impressed last time out as they eased to a 3-0 victory over Poland, but they'll be up against it today against a quick and powerful Senegal side.
  • PRVW
    Here's how the teams arrived a little earlier:
  • PRVW
    The added sub-plot to Group H (as if it needed one) is that one of these two or Japan will end up playing England in the last 16. Will the Three Lions be watching on somewhere today?
  • PRVW
    What does history tell us about games between these two? Not an awful lot. they've faced each other one, in a friendly back in 2014, playing out a 2-2 draw.
  • PRVW
    Sadio Mane and Radamel Falcao will no doubt be key today, but which will come out on top?
  • PRVW
    Some interesting changes from Senegal as well as West Ham's Cheikhou Kouyate and Monaco's Keita Balde come into the starting XI for the first time in the tournament.
  • PRVW
    Senegal: N'Diaye; Gassama, Sane, Koulibaly, Sabaly; Sarr, Gueye, Kouyate, Mane; Niang, Balde.
  • PRVW
    A more creative looking side than in previous games from the Colombians as Jose Izquierdo drops to the bench. Carlos Sanchez, who was sent off in Colombia's opening game, returns in midfield.
  • PRVW
    Colombia: Ospina; Arias, Sanchez, Mina, Mojica; Uribe, Sanchez; Cuadrado, James, Quintero; Falcao.
  • PRVW
    Colombia need to either win or draw and hope Japan lose to go through. Japan need either a point or for Colombia to lose., whilst Senegal need a point or for Japan to lose by more goals than them if Colombia emerge victorious in this one.
  • PRVW
    Japan top group H at the moment on four points, with Senegal boasting the same return. Colombia sit a point further back.
