Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Poland and Colombia get this one started.
  • 5' Colombia is showing some good football. However, Colombia are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Jose Pekerman will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 15' Juan Cuadrado has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Colombia that had 88 games and scored 23 goals.
  • 25' Poland international Lukasz Piszczek has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 30' Colombia have won 23 goals from 88 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 32' The whistle greets Abel Aguilar as he departs to be replaced by Mateus Uribe.
  • 37' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 40' Goal! Yerry Mina scores his 22 goal in 326 matches.
  • 45' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 50' Poland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 50.
  • 55' It looks surprising Colombia does not make any changes. Radamel Falcao has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 57' Kamil Grosicki is replacing Dawid Kownacki for the Poland side.
  • 61' Jan Bednarek catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 61.
  • 66' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 70' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Radamel Falcao makes it 0-2.
  • 72' A change in the Poland ranks — Bartosz Bereszynski exits the field as Lukasz Teodorczyk enters on 72.
  • 73' The crowd applauds Juan Fernando Quintero as he leaves the pitch. Jefferson Lerma steps in for Colombia.
  • 75' Magnificent from Juan Cuadrado! That is 16 goals in 529 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 78' Time for substitution for Colombia. Radamel Falcao is replaced by Carlos Bacca.
  • 80' Time for substitution for Poland. Michal Pazdan is replaced by Kamil Glik.
  • 85' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jacek Goralski on 85.
  • 90' James Rodriguez is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Colombia so far.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Colombia players.
