Any losers here and they are out. A draw and all four teams in the group still in with a chance. Ally McCoist started to give us his tactical insights, but as Alloa weren’t playing they were a bit worthless. His advice to Poland when they were chasing the game was to punt high balls up to Lewandowski.
Neither side playing for the draw though, with both getting forward but it was Colombia who scored first with a simple cross from James Rodriquez and Yerra Mina header.
The second didn’t arrive until the seventieth minute courtesy of a fine Falcao finish from a slide-rule Quintero pass but that looked like the end of Poland. Five minutes latter a beautiful pass into the goal by Cuadrado on the end of another Rodriquez through ball confirmed it.
Poland out, Colombia need a win against Senegal and Japan need a point against Poland unless Senegal beat Colombia. Senegal need a point.
Interestingly, the Colombia manager has apparently only given one interview in six years. Can someone tell Gareth Southgate?
