    FT: Poland 0 - 3 Colombia! Goals from Mina, Falcao and Cuadrado give Colombia a comfortably victory in Kazan and eliminate Poland from this summer's World Cup!! The South American side were rather impressive tonight but still need a result against Senegal to progress to the Round of 16.
  • 93'
    The game is just a procession now. No team really going for anything anymore.
  • 90'
    Five minutes added on to finish the game.
  • 88'
    GREAT SAVE BY OSPINA!! Lewandowski lets rip from distance and his venomous shot is palmed over by the injured Colombian goalkeeper!

  • 84'
    CHANCE FOR COLOMBIA! Uribe backheels the ball over Szczesny and it rolls toward the line but Bednarek scrambles back to clear!
  • 83'
    Ospina is carrying on but that could be an area for Poland to target now!
  • 82'
    Ospina is down and receiving treatment again after his own player accidentally lands on his ankle. He looks in some discomfort and Colombia have made all three of their changes...
  • 80'
    Poles now make their final sub: Pazdan off, Glik on.
  • 78'
    Colombia make their final change. Falcao off, Bacca on.

Goaaaaaal!
de Colombia en el 75'
  • 75'
    GOAL!! COLOMBIA!! No hope for Poland now! Rodriguez wins possession on the left and fires a fantastic diagonal pass to find Cuadrado in tonnes of space. He charges at goal and calmly fires to the right of Szczesny, finding the back of the net! 3-0!!
  • 72'
    Substitutions for both sides! Poland: Bereszynski off, Teodorczyk on. Colombia: Quintero off, Lerma on.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Colombia en el 70'
  • 70'
    GOAL!! COLOMBIA!! Quintero puts Falcao through on goal with a sublime pass and the Monaco striker coolly slots it into the far corner! 2-0!! Game over surely?
  • 68'
    It's pumped in deep, finding Krychowiak who hoofs it back into the box but Colombia clear.
  • 67'
    Poland win a central free-kick 40 yards out. It's an opportunity to launch it into the box.
  • 65'
    Boos ring out in Kazan as Poland enjoy a period of possession but can't find that penetrating pass to open up the Colombian defence. They're trying but it isn't working...
  • 63'
    Poland get plenty of bodies forward for an attack but then a terrible long pass is wayward and the chance is lost.
Card

Yellow card

a Polonia
  • 61'
    Bednarek is booked for man-handling Uribe.
  • 59'
    Ospina is down again after the coming together with Lewandowski. He'll be okay.
  • 57'
    Pazdan is down receiving treatment but he will be okay to continue.
  • 56'
    Poland make a change: Kownacki off, Grosicki on.
  • 54'
    Poland have not looked threatening. Not sure how they are going to find their way back into this one, but you just never know with football.
  • 52'
    MISS!! The Polish defence stand off Cuadrado in the box, allowing him to tee up Falcao in plenty of space but the forward skies his effort!! That was bad...
  • 49'
    Piszczek launches in a long throw from the sideline. Lewandowski wins his aerial battle but his header flies over the crossbar!
  • 46'
    Colombia get the second half underway! Poland need to find something in this second half or their World Cup is over! Can they do it?
  • 45'
    HT: Poland 0 - 1 Colombia! It hasn't been a half full of chances but it has been a good battle, one which Colombia have been winning so far. They found their breakthrough through Yerry Mina and lead at half-time. As things stand, Poland will be eliminated!
  • 45'
    Late corner for Poland after Rybus' cross is intercepted. Can they grab an equaliser? No.
  • 45'
    Cuadrado fires in a great cross from the right but it is headed away twice by the Poles.
  • 45'
    Four minutes added on to end the half.
  • 44'
    Poland break down the left through Rybus but his cross takes a deflection off Arias and lands just past the crossbar. No corner though, surprisingly...
  • 42'
    The game needed a goal and it deservedly falls to Colombia. Can Poland respond before half-time?
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Colombia en el 40'
  • 40'
    GOAL!! COLOMBIA!! Quintero, Cuadrado and James Rodriguez link up brilliantly around the area before the Bayern Munich midfielder curls in a delightful cross which Yerry Mina sends flying into the back of the net with his head!! 1-0!!
  • 38'
    The corner is poor and Poland break quickly, sending the ball to Lewandowski but he is closed down by Colombia's two centre-backs.
  • 37'
    Colombia are starting to dominate now. Cuadrado dances past two defenders on his charge to goal but he cannot squeeze his shot past Szczesny, who concedes a corner.
  • 35'
    Cuadrado tries a rather ambitious shot from range and it, unsurprisingly, goes out for a goal-kick.
  • 34'
    Poland clear the danger.
  • 33'
    Colombia probing through Cuadrado and Quintero down the right but every crossed is rebuffed by the Polish defence until one concedes a corner.
  • 31'
    A sad sight as Aguilar is stretchered off the field. Uribe on in his place.
Injury

Injured

en Colombia
  • 30'
    Aguilar is down and makes the signal that he can't continue. Colombia will be forced into an early substitution.
  • 27'
    The corner led to nothing and we are now into the 27th minute without a clear opportunity on goal. Weird...
  • 25'
    Rodriguez plays through Falcao who charges at goal but his pass to Cuadrado is cut out by the Polish defence. Colombia corner.
  • 23'
    Poland head straight down the other end with a quick break and Mina is forced to concede a corner, intercepting a dangerous cross from the right.
  • 22'
    Cuadrado fires a low cross which finds Falcao on the edge of the area. He is quickly closed down and the chance goes abegging.
  • 20'
    James Rodriguez picks up the ball in midfield and there was a real sense he would just run through the Polish defence and score. Unfortunately for Colombia, he didn't.
  • 18'
    A SHOT! Lewandowski picks up the ball outside of the box and unleashes a venomous effort. It is blocked by Sanchez for a Poland corner.
  • 16'
    Davinson Sanchez barges into Lewandowski. Free-kick to Poland in midfield.
  • 14'
    Would love to report on some shots but we've seen none of that so far. But at least it is chanceless madcap action.
  • 10'
    There is no momentum in the game at all, both sides trying to get a foot in and it's just all a bit manic, without any clear chances.
  • 8'
    Definitely a lot of tension between the two teams. Lots of early fouls which could result in a lot of cards later on.
  • 7'
    Yerry Mina is the next to hit the deck after Lewandowski trod on his hand. But he's a tough nut guy and gets on with things after a short pause.
  • 5'
    Ospina is now down for Colombia after a clash with a Polish player. He looks in a lot of pain. BIG early worry for Colombia.
  • 4'
    Poland's Pazdan is down, winded, but will be okay to continue.
  • 3'
    Poland have started the game strong and win another corner. It leads to nothing..
  • 2'
    Zielinski whipped it in and Colombia's defence completely misses the flight of the ball but thankfully there wasn't a Poland player there to take advantage.
  • 2'
    Early corner for Poland after Kownacki's cross was headed out.
  • 1'
    Poland get the game underway!

    Players are out, national anthems are underway and kick-off is imminent.

    Warm-ups done! 10 minutes until kick-off!
  • PRVW
    History is on Colombia's side going into this match. Only once before have they lost both of their opening two games in a World Cup tournament (1994).
  • PRVW
    They may be club team-mates but James Rodriguez and Robert Lewandowski are on different sides tonight and both will be vying to be the protagonist.
  • PRVW
    So, James Rodriguez is deemed fit enough to start against Poland and will offer a dangerous threat alongside Juan Quintero, who impressed in the loss to Japan.
  • PRVW
    Japan and Senegal have just played out a 2-2 draw which means that if either Poland or Colombia were to lose tonight, they would be eliminated!
  • PRVW
    Colombia: Ospina; D.Sanchez, Mina, Mojica, Arias; Aguilar, Barrios, James Rodriguez, Quintero, Cuadrado; Falcao (c).
  • PRVW
    Poland: Szczesny; Bednarek, Piszczek, Pazdan, Bereszynski; Rybus, Krychowiak, Zielinski, Goralski; Kownacki, Lewandowski (c).
