Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Colombia is hosting Ghana for another epic battle.
  • 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Elisha Owusu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 8' A tactical swap from Colombia — Luis Suarez on, Jhon Cordoba off on 8 minutes.
  • 12' That looks like a foul for a card for Jhon Arias.
  • 13' The whistle greets Marvin Senaya as he departs to be replaced by Alidu Seidu.
  • 14' Assisted by Luis Suarez with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jhon Arias makes no mistake. 1-0!
