Colombia through to potential England tie but Senegal crash out

Yerry Mina scored for a second consecutive game at the World Cup

Yerry Mina’s second-half header sent Colombia into a potential last-16 tie with England at the World Cup at the expense of Senegal, who lost out to Japan having received more yellow cards.

The Barcelona defender ensured his side’s progress with a towering second-half header from Juan Quintero’s corner.

Colombia had to win to be sure of their progress, but with Poland beating Japan 1-0 in Volgograd, African representation at the World Cup was ended as Senegal failed to secure the point they needed.

The South Americans will face the runners-up from Group G, which will be either England or Belgium, in Moscow on Tuesday, while Japan await the winners in Rostov-on-Don on Monday.
