Senegal and Columbia have faced each other only once in a friendly match in 2014, with Colombia taking a 2-0 lead into halftime, only to concede two goals in the second half. Tonight Fortunes had swung Colombia’s way.
Score: COLOMBIA 1 – SENEGAL 0

Colombia didn’t have a single touch in Senegal’s box in the first half, the first time they have failed to have a touch in the opposition’s box in any single half of a World Cup match.
It was in 74th minute that Columbian defender Yerry Mina attacked the resulting corner with real power and headed into the ground and back up into the net, despite the goalkeeper getting a hand to it. Four of Colombia’s last six goals of world cup too have come from set-piece scenarios.
Senegal hardly put a challenge from there and Colombia registered a comfortable win.
