Anyway, there we go - stick with us for Senegal-Poland, and every other game! Have a good day.
Well who expected that? "That" being a great win for Japan, their first ever in the World Cup on European soil, and this group is right up in the air now.
Full-time: Colombia 1-2 Japan
Colombia bump the ball around the Japan box, but it won't come down for them and there we go!
Bacca muscles down the left and lumps a cross that flies behind.
Japan have been excellent this half, completely dominating the game. In fairness, they ought really to have finished it before Colombia scored, but rode the disappointment, sorted themselves out, and put it on them thereafter.
There'll be five added minutes.
Colombia put the ball into the box and Falcao nods over to James. He doesn't want to go for goal because there's little chance of scoring, but heading back across, he catches Falcao offside instead.
In any case, this group is now wide open. Senegal and Poland will both fancy their chances of qualifying too - both are properly dangerous in attack.
I wonder, what more could Colombia have done here? With ten men, I'm just not sure that you can have Falcao and James, especially when the other team is absolutely dominating possession.
Rodriguez lunges in on Haraguchi and is booked. I'd forgotten he was even playing.
Okazaki, who's meant to be injured, replaces Osako.
Japan are passing it as slowly as possible, keeping the ball away from Colombia as they did in the first half. But now it's the sensible way to go.
This game is dying a death.
Off goes Shibasaki, on comes Yamaguchi.
WHAT A block! Lerma is persistent, chasing Nagatomo who's looking to clear close to touchline, robbing him, and backheeling a pass which puts James in! He swings a huge foot at it, but Osako dives in to deflect the ball over the top.
The corner was very well taken, fast and flat, and Japan forced the opportunity with their relentless pressure. I'm not quite sure what's happened to Colombia in the second half, though, as though they're a man down, that shouldn't render them incapable totally incapable of competing.
GOAL! Colombia 1-2 Japan (Osako) Honda clips in the corner and close to the front post, Osako is up first to flick home a header into the far top corner. Ospina, obviously, is nowhere.
Ach! Honda puts the ball into the box, where Osako is backing into Murillo. He tees up Sakai, who drives low ... it looks for all the world as though it's going in ... but Arias gets a toes in and the ball goes behind for a corner.
