Colombia 1-0 Ghana
Image source, BBC Sport/Getty ImagesGhana are certainly still in this last-32 tie but they are going to have to do better when they get into dangerous areas.
They've had six shots but they've not tested Colombia keeper Camilo Vargas once.

HT: Colombia 1-0 Ghana
Clinton Morrison
Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveColombia have been the better team so far but Ghana have had little spells in it.
I think conceding that early was disappointing but they've got to keep believing and they've got to believe they're going to create something. In particular, get the ball to Antoine Semenyo who is the danger man for Ghana.
HALF-TIMEpublished at 03:22 BST
Colombia 1-0 Ghana
Colombia lead at the break and are 45 minutes away from the last 16.
Ghana are still in the game but they're going to have to create more if they are to progress.
It is still up for grabs

Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt's a brilliant header but you've got to credit Lawrence Ati Zigi. It's a fantastic save, he hasn't played much in this tournament.
It is a really good save - the way he gets across and manages to parry it away to safety.

Just what does Brandon Thomas-Asante have to do to get into this Ghana team? Had a great season at Coventry despite a lengthy injury yet is behind a well past it Jordan Ayew who... checks notes... got relegated with Leicester

Luis Suarez is certainly making an impact following his early substitution.
He heads wide after reaching a Jefferson Lerma cross.

Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt's a great opportunity but Luis Diaz has to hit the target.
The technique is all wrong - he goes with the laces.
CLOSE!published at 38 mins
Colombia 1-0 Ghana
A great chance for Bayern Munich winger Luis Diaz but he fires wide. That was a brilliant opportunity to double Colombia's lead.

Ghana have had a couple of corners now but not really put in a decent delivery with either.

Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveAlidu Seidu has had a nightmare since he has come on.
When you're a substitute you've got to come on and be ready, just like Luis Suarez was when he came on for Colombia and made a big difference. You have to be ready.

There are loud whistles every time Ghana do get on the ball. Kansas City Stadium appears to have been relocated to Bogota for the evening.

This is all a bit flat from Ghana. They can't keep hold of the ball and Colombia look lively when they have possession.

Colombia are a great watch. Heavy metal football and massive passion. Epic fans as well. No one will want to play them if they come through this.

Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveThis hydration break has come at the right time for Ghana.

The first hydration break is upon us. A great start for Colombia. What have Ghana got? They scored just two goals in the group stage.

Just to note Jhon Arias picked up a booking a couple of minutes before he scored. It was for a late challenge on Inaki Williams from the Colombian.

Starting to think Colombia are the real dark horse and nobody has really had that shout? Looked excellent in every game.
