Colombia 1-2 Japan
3 min PENALTY TO JAPAN! Huge drama inside the opening three minutes of this game – I did say it could be lively! Ospina made a brilliant save to keep out the initial shot, but Kagawa met the follow up and if not for Carlos Sanchez’s hand it would have found the net. The referee has no choice but to point to the spot and issue a red card.

15 min CHANCE! Inevitably, Japan are already being given plenty of chances to counter. From one such opportunity, Takashi Inui is picked out down the left but his shot ended a few inches wide of David Ospina’s target.

45+2 min HALF TIME: COLOMBIA 1-1 JAPAN
72 min SHOT! It has taken Honda all of two minutes to get a shot away. The effort from range lacked pace and precision, though, and it was routinely dealt with by David Ospina. Japan have seen a whopping 77% of the ball in the second half.
