Match Updates

0' A very emotional Serey Die. He's in tears during the national anthems.

0' The teams are out, the anthems are sung, and Howard Webb sets us underway!

6' First shot of the game. Nobody closes down Rodriguez who pings a ball into Cuadrado, cutting in from the right, and he lays it back to Teo, whose shot is wide of the mark.

7' A big inflatable ball has made its way onto the pitch. Play has to be stopped.

8' Another ball issue as a ball is thrown onto the pitch despite play still going on. A Colombian player kicks it back off.

9' Cuadrado crosses into the box, but Bamba clears... Ivory Coast break away and Gervinho earns a corner.

12' Doorstep traders at my door... I missed Colombia attacking, didn't come to anything.

17' Zokora has to clear the ball over his own goal. Cuadrado is rapid down the right and crosses into the box, Zokora gives away a corner.

25' Chance for Ivory Coast. Die finds Toure, who is about 25-30 yards from goal, he lays it off Tioté who has a crack from range, but it flies over the bar.

28' What a miss. Cuadrado has space, but he crosses to Rodriguez on the left, who then finds Teo in the middle, he has time and space but he can't finish. Golden opportunity.

31' Good chance for Gradel. Aurier escapes and passes to Gradel who cuts in from the right, and shoots, but Ospina gets down to save well.

33' Trademark Toure run, but Sanchez does tremendously well to out muscle Toure and win the ball back.

40' Worrying moment on the ball for Bamba as he plays around with the ball on the edge of his own box, nearly getting tackled by a number of Colombian players.

43' Chances for Ivory Coast. Gervinho produces a great run, weaving in and out of challenges, before taking a shot which is blocked and it then falls to Die who shoots and it's blocked away.

45' 1 minute added on.

HALF TIME - COLOMBIA 0 - 0 IVORY COAST

45' We're back underway for the second half.

47' Gervinho goes down after sprinting through 2 Colombian defenders at full pace.

50' Gervinho takes another tumble in the box after some good work between himself and Toure. Nothing given, and he wasn't touched.

52' Free kick for Ivory Coast in an inviting position. Toure takes it, but he sends it wide of the goal.

53' Quintero Ibarbo (injury)

54' Zokora - He misses the next game

56' Sensational ball by Toure. Outside of the right foot into Bony in the box, but his body position was all wrong, and he tried a rotating scissor kick, but he misses it. Good chance wasted.

57' Armero is a lucky man. He tries to clear the ball away, but he misses it and Gradel has a chance to shoot, but Yepes produces a great last man tackle, and wins a goal kick.

59' POST! Cuadrado weaves his way into the box, and shoots from a tight angle, Barry does well to palm the ball onto the post.

60' Drogba Bony

62' Bony failed to have a touch in the opposition penalty box.

64' GOAAAAAL COLOMBIA! It's a corner for Colombia, and the Ivorian defence loses Rodriguez who thumps the header home past Barry. GIF

67' Kalou Gradel

68' Aurier forces a good save out of Ospina at his near post.

70' GOAAAAAL COLOMBIA! Serey Die is dispossessed in the middle of the pitch by James Rodriguez. Teo picks it up and sends it out to the newly introduced player, Quintero to finish up, and put Colombia 2 up! GIF

72' Arias Armero

73' Bolly Die

73' GOAAAAAL IVORY COAST! A wonderful goal by Gervinho. He gets the ball on the left and dribbles past 3 players before smashing the ball home. Is there hope for Ivory Coast? GIF

77' And breathe... A manic 10 minutes, and we're in for a whirl wind last 10 minutes.

78' Cross swung into Drogba! But he just isn't tall enough to get some solid contact onto it.

79' Mejia Aguilar

84' Aurier is finding a lot of success down the right for Ivory Coast, and his cross finds Bolly who has to get down to head the ball, but it rises to high, and it goes over the goal.

85' Good chance for Kalou. Bolly and Gervinho combine together, and the latter finds Kalou whose first time shot is weak, and Ospina claims easily.

85' Yepes goes down clutching his knee. All 3 subs have been used...

87' He comes back on, but is moving gingerly.

89' Quintero goes for goal from half way! Barry was off his line, but he managed to reclaim the ball.

89' Tioté

90' 4 minutes added on. Probably should have been more.

90 2' Huge save from Ospina. Yepes misses the ball, while trying to clear it, Ospina charges off his line to clear it away from Drogba.

90 4' Yepes gambles on winning a header, but he doesn't Drogba claims it, and a foul is called against him.

FULL TIME - COLOMBIA 2 - 1 IVORY COAST
