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.

-
Statistics of Yerry Mina in Mundial331000
-
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.
Injured
-
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!

-
PRVWThey 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.
-
PRVWSo, 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.
-
PRVWJapan 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!
