Mina scored for the second game in a row to put Colombia top of the group

Mina had opened the scoring with a header in Colombia's previous clash, against Poland, and history repeated itself on Thursday when the South Americans took on Senegal.

The Barcelona man is blessed with great height, standing tall at 1.95m, and again he used this to his advantage. This goal came in the 73rd minute, when Juan Fernando Quintero whipped in a corner from the right.

From there it was simple for Mina, who rose high to place a powerful header past Khadim N'Diaye, before running off to celebrate in jovial fashion.

The goal was huge for Colombia, as it took them to the top of Group H, all-but securing their spot in the knockouts.
