Poland vs Colombia | World Cup 2018 | Live Score and Commentary

PEEP! PEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEEEP! THAT IS THAT, THEN

Ole! Ole! Ole! Colombia have give Poland a footballing lesson here. Vamos Colombia. Commiserations to the Polish. An absolutely dead-on-his-feet (fingers?) Anirudh Menon signing out.

Toodle-ooo

94' Lewa looks to tee one up, but loses sight of the ball - story of his tournament, that. At the other end, James is absolutely DESTROYING Poland

93' Nothing's happening. BLOW THE WHISTLE, REF

91' FIVE MINUTES ADDED ON!

90' Colombia are passing circles around Poland. They are enjoying themselves so much more

89' The corner, though is wasted as Ospina punches it clear.

88' WOOF! LEWA, FINALLY! He takes a touch and absolutel smashes a shot at goal - that Ospina does superbly to tip away.

87' OH! Grosicki is crying. That's hard to watch. Gazza 2.0. Poland are crashing out of Russia like it's 1991.

84' OH LERNA! The midfielder ghosts into the box where he's found superbly by James; the midfielder takes a touch and looks to backheel it at goal but ooooh, the ball trickles along along the line and it takes Glik to leather it away.

83' Ospina's injured and hobbling around - but the Colombians have made all three subs (the muppet on tele is asking why they aren't charging him; it's because they have made them all. MY GOD!)

80' Poland win a corner, Poland throw Glik as an additional body in the box instead of Pazdan. His first touch is to almost set up Grosicki; but the Colombians throw themselves at the shot and they smother really well.

79' OH MINA! OH LEWANDOWSKI! OH, MY! The captain motors into the box, but Yerry Mina takes him and the ball out with a perfectly timed, perfectly legal tackle. WOOF! Mina's absolutely dominated this battle

78' Bednarak gives the ball away to Uribe with the most lost-looking pass of all time but Pisczek has still not fallen asleep and he mops it up

77' They've just cut to Rene Higuita and Carlos Valderamma celebrating in the stands. What a sight. YES! Pekerman allows Falcao a standing ovation and a bit of rest as he takes him off for Carlos Bacca!

James, James, James. He runs onto Mojica's pass and curls the most gorgeous ball right around three Polish defenders and right into Cuadrado's path -- and the Juve man keeps his calm to smash it past Szczęsny

76' GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! CUADRADO!

75' The Poles move forward - the Kazan Arena rings out in boos - and Cuadrado cheers them all up by absolutely thumping a clearance into the stands

74' From a Pisczek throw-in, Kyrchowiak lets fly -- he connects well but doesn't really get any direction behind it. Into Row Z she goes

72' Bereszyński is replaced by Teodorczyk as the Poles hurl the kitchen sink at it. Striker on for a Wingback. Pekerman counters that by taking off the brilliant Quintero for the defensive midfielder Lerma.

OH YES, OH YES, FALCAO! WHAT A GOAL! Quintero slips in another sublime defence splitter into El Tigre's path. He takes one touch, sizes it up and slaps a superb, superb, finish of the outside off his boot and into the bottom far corner. LOVELY! Falcao's celebrations screams of the joy of redemption

69' GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! FALCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

67' OH! A nice burst of pace from Goralski sees the Poles win a freekick. Zielinski hurls it into the box - Lewa gets sandwiched by Sanchez and Mina and Arias mops up the spill

65' OOOOOH! Finally Lewa wins a header, but all he can do is smash it into Sanchez's noggin'. Oh, Lewa!

64' Lewandowski's channeling his inner Messi here. The more starved of service he gets, the deeper he's dropping. Finally, the Poles move forward -- and Pisczek will line up another long hurl into the box

63' Poland are not able to get out of their own half here. It's like watching my old school team. Nothing's happening when the men in white get the ball.

62' Zielinski goes in late on Barrios, and that's all excuse the midfielder needs to roll around a touch and eat up more seconds. As Amit Mishra notes next to me, Colombia are rondo-ing their way around the field. Such a Pekerman team this is

61' Yerry Mina is absolutely dominating Robert Lewandowski here. The Poles look thoroughly disjointed.

60' Finally a yellow. Bednarek smashes into Uribe as he looks to break forward. That's the simplest decision the ref will make all day.

58' OH LEWANDOWSKI! OH MY LORD! KYRCHOWIAK LIFTED THE MOST AMAZING BALL OUT - LEWA CONTROLLED SUPERBLY WITH HIS INSTEP, BEFORE ABSOLUTELY LEATHERING IT STRAIGHT AT OSPINA'S CHEST! WHAT A GLORIOUS CHANCE!

57' The Poles make their first change - Kownacki off, Grosicki on

56' Colombia counter at pace - 3 v 3. James slips in Quintero, who shifts it to his left and smashes a shot off Pazdan and away for a corner. Which bounces out to Cuadrado - he has a shot from thirty odd yards out. The ball's still travelling

55' Ai, ok, the Poles are pressing a touch higher now - and the Poles have a sustained spell of possession in the Colombian half - but Bereszyński's cross delflects off James and comfortably into the arms of Ospina

54' Goranski smacks the single most rubbish pass out to the flanks you'll ever see and Rybus hangs his head as he watches it bounce hopelessly out of bounds. Story of their first 54 minutes, that.

52' James pings a lovely, lovely ball out to Cuadrado. He holds the ball, waits, brews himself some coffee - has it - then takes out Rybus with a burst down the outside - he pings it to James who's shot is not good enough to break the Polish wall

51' Cuadrado breaks at pace, eschews the chance to play it across to James... he holds onto it for a while and then tees up Falcao. El Tigre takes a touch and sends a curler high up into the chilly Kazan air

50' Lewa and Mina go for another aerial fifty-fifty; the young Colombian wins it again. Barrios and Arias combine to move the Colombians forward where the move ends with Quintero sending a hopeless shot well wide of the Polish goal

49' Oh Lewa! Bereszyński and Zielenski combine to win a throw in. Pisczek hurls it in - in the Rory Delay fashion - but Lewandowski's header bounces harmlessly over the bar and onto the roof of the net

48' James and Falcao combine once again to set Colombia forward before Quintero pings a lovely ball out James. He cushions a header into Mojica; but Poland intercept and steam forward.

46' Colombia are trying to pass it out the back - and that's not a great thing, now that the Poles are pressing with far greater intensity. Bereszyński's shot after they do win it back, though, is horrendous.

PEEP! WE ARE OFF AGAIN! Colombia kick off

PEEP! PEEP! HALFTIME!

Colombia's leading by one, but this match could really go either way. The Colombians have dominated possession, but Poland are a Lewandowski moment of magic away from snatching it back.

45' + 4' Ospina punches it clear, a touch, shakily and that's that.

45' + 3' OI! Quintero looks to slip in James with another superb ball - but Bedranek reads it to perfection. He plays it to Lewandowski - who gets clattered into by Mina. Uribe, though, loses possession to Kyrchowiak and the Poles move forward - Rybus winning a corner

45' + 2' Colombia keep possession, though, and this time James wins a freekick. Pass-pass-pass go the men in blue

45' + 1' Falcao's hammered into by Pazdan and Colombia have a freekick... they play it short and Arias hosts into space down the right; but his cross into the far post is utterly rubbish

45' Four minutes to be added on. Colombia will look to play keep-ball

44' Rybus screams into the box and looks to play it into the far post; but he can't get any sort of direction behind his cross and that's a goalkick

43' OOOOO! OFFSIDE! Quintero tries to stab another of his lovely reverse into the path of James but the Bayern/Real Madrid man is a country mile offside

42' Poland looks to move forward with real intent - but Barrios shuts the door on them. He lays it off to Quintero who pings a superb ball out to Falcao. El Tigre traps the ball dead with a lovely touch, and then keeps it with that underrated upper body strength of his. This then sets off a lovely couple of minutes of Colombian possession...

OH! What goal! The corner's played short, Quintero stabs the single most sumptuous reverse into the path of James; the no. 10 lifts a lovely ball into the box and Mina towers over everyone to absolutely thump a powerful header into the back of the net. WOOF!
