49: This sounds familiar
More of the same thing until now in the second half. Disjointed offense, mostly from Colombia, and clear-now-now defender, most of Senegal.
47 "Trying, Trying
An anticipated business figure for Colombia. Santiago Arias was trying to make things happen, but his pbad was too far away
46: Colombia needs a goal
The second period is underway and Colombia needs a # 39, a goal to move forward. [19659007HebatGrouptoFindaGoal
It seems that the whole H group has forgotten how to score today. Japan and Poland are also tied at 0-0. If these results are valid, Japan and Senegal move forward. If Poland manages to take advantage in the second half, Senegal and Colombia could also dig – a draw for them and a win for Poland would send Senegal and Colombia through.
Halftime: Colombia 0, Senegal 0
Few people would be tempted to call this first half "pretty", but Senegal, at least, will be satisfied with their status. They gave little opportunity to Colombia, and just a real shot. And the sight of James Rodriguez, who played such an important role in Colombia's offensive against Poland, was as welcome for Senegal as devastating for Colombia. Falcao and Juan Cuadrado will have to find ways to revive in the second half to trigger the Cafeteros attack
45 "Colombia comes first
A last Colombian push before half-time is empty, and teams enter the locker room aimless after 45 minutes
45: Yellow for Johan Mohica
A Senegalese counterattack led by Mane is interrupted by a body check of Johan Mohica, who receives a yellow card for his effective fault. The free kick flew dangerously to the back post but rebounded intact
43: Colombia Stalls
Falcao receives a decent service outside the Senegal area, but he loses control by trying to do something in the midst of three defenders and is called for a foul. Nothing much of the attack from Colombia lately.

41: Another Colombian injury
Johan Mojica is on the ground, apparently injured near the demarcation line of Colombia. Juan Quintero sprinted on the sidelines to have a conversation with Colombia manager Jose Pekerman, apparently on the status of Mojica. Mojica remains for the moment, however, after a moment of treatment.
37. Mane Striker
Sadio Mane made a dangerous race but did not trail too much, but Sanchez was determined to pbad it without training and took it to about 30 meters and gave up a free kick. But Sane stomped and his attempt did not address the goal.
35: Diaye cashes Colombia's free kick
Colombia retains the lead after losing Rodriguez, who was named man of the match against Poland, and take a free kick. But that is too far away and Khadim N 'Diaye is taking him out of the air again.
31: James Rodriguez goes away
This is not good news for Colombia. James Rodriguez arrives early, replaced by Luis Muriel. Rodriguez was restricted to coming to the World Cup due to a calf strain, playing just 30 minutes in their opener, but had recovered and played a longer stretch against Poland. But he struggles again.
30: Senegal has the edge
Senegal reacted well after the last Colombian threat. They put a lot of pressure into the third goal, mainly through Mane, but they were also able to win the ball after the turnovers and keep possession for long periods.
27: There's Mane! ] Sadio Mane bursts through the defense of Colombia and enters the zone. Her shot is blocked and Keita Balde tries to make a comeback, but Ospina makes an easy stop
25: Falcao Just Misses
Juan Quintero gets banged with a late tackle on the right side (and probably embellishes a bit), winning a free kick for Colombia in a dangerous place. And Falcao has a good header on the free kick, but he barely sends it over the bar!
23: Senegal Presses
The match announces while Senegal baderts itself a little more in attack. They try to break Sane in the middle, but Colombia is just enough to close it when he's on the ball.

21: Senegal free kick blocked
Senegal wins another free kick on the left side, about thirty meters, but once again, it goes straight to Ospina.

17: No penalty after examination
The referee examines and decides to cancel the appeal! Colombia escapes a difficult situation
Davinson Sanchez snuck out to Mane and seemed to withdraw his leg before, but the referee had to decide that he was tired of the ball to justify plating. This one will certainly be hotly debated if it ends up being decisive today.
Remember, VAR must not restart all decisions. That's for changes to change.

17: Penalty!
Sadio Mane went down to the surface! Senegal will have a kick of repair.
15: Sabaly becomes physical
Yusuf Sabaly has been physical until now. The referee Milorad Mazic makes it known of a whistle after a brutal tackle
13 "The offensive of Colombia wakes up
Colombia began to beat in attack, playing smoother pbades and stretching the field. Falcao is crushed by two defenders trying to drop a lobbed pbad about 5 meters from the top of the box and Colombia gets a dangerous free kick. Juan Quintero wraps around the wall towards the far post, but Khadim N 'Diaye makes a good stop
9: Free kick for Senegal
Senegal wins a free kick on the left flank about 40 meters. But Keita Baldé puts too much pressure and Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina makes an easy hook
8: Slow start on both sides
The nerves may play a role here. Colombia looked particularly sloppy, unable to connect to multiple pbades and often returning to goalkeeper David Ospina to avoid an expensive turnover in his own half.
4 – Senegal plays long ball
Senegal tried to launch some early attacks with long balls down the wings, but they were far from the target with their delivery.
1: Kickoff!
We are on the way! Colombia wears yellow and Senegal is green. If the national anthems were an indication, Colombia has a huge advantage in the stands today.
A friendly reminder
Do not @ them:
A reminder to all who watch Thursday #WorldCup ] matches. While we are grateful for your support, COLOMBIA – and not Columbia – will play in Senegal.

Colombia gets a little help
Colombia gets some relief on the defense for this match as Carlos Sanchez, his veteran defensive midfielder, returns after receiving a card red in the third minute of the opening match against Japan. Although the Colombians survived without him against a toothless Poland attack in their second match, Sanchez will be crucial to slowing down Senegal.
