90'
Poland are eliminated
Poland knew what they had to do coming into this match against Colombia. A point they survive, a loss and they go home empty handed. They did not live up to the task and are now eliminated from this World Cup. They have done nothing in their first two games to earn wins and their captain Robert Lewandowski looked a shadow of himself. A player that scores so frequently for Bayern Munich and in qualifying has been held to zero goals. They will have one more game against Japan to at least get a goal or a point before they go back to Poland.<br> Colombia stay alive. Their first game was not truly indicative of the teams' skill and form because of the early sending off of Carlos Sanchez. James Rodriguez starting provided the boost that Colombia needed. He got two assists in this game and set up his teammates for success. Colombia look much stronger heading into their third and final game against Senegal. They still have a chance to top the group and will go full steam ahead to clinch their spot in the round of 16.
90'
It is over
Colombia hold on for the win in a dominant 3-0 victory over Poland.
90'
Colombia holding on
Poland have not had a real substantial attack in injury time thus far. Colombia recovers and tracks-back well to stop Poland from getting a goal on a counter-attack.
90'
Five minutes added
Poland will have at least five minutes to fight for their tournament lives. It seems a near impossible task as they are down three goals.
90'
Goralski goes down
Jacek Goralski takes a hard shot from Jefferson Lerma in the stomach and he has the wind knocked out of him. He gets back to his feet shortly after and continues playing.
88'
Lewandowski takes a chance
Kamil Grosicki wins the ball on the edge of the Colombia penalty area. Robert Lewandowski lets loose a shot but David Ospina is able to push the ball over the crossbar.
85'
A second Polish yellow

84'
Colombia almost grab a fourth
Mateus Uribe is there to cause trouble in the Polish penalty area and the ball almost crosses the line but is cleared off. A high ball comes in and Uribe tries to control it. There is a small scramble in the area before Uribe tries to back-heel the ball in. The Polish defense is there to clear though.
82'
Ospina down
David Ospina is down yet again in this game. He is receiving treatment on the field. Colombia has used all of their subs and a replacement keeper cannot be brought in off the bench. If Ospina cannot carry on, a Colombian player who is already on the field will have go in goal. He carries on for the time being however.
81'
Poland nearly scores
Off of a corner, the ball is put towards the far post in the penalty area. It is Grzegorz Krychowiak who gets the ball in the eight-yard box. Krychowiak takes the shot but Mateus Uribe makes the block.

Cuadrado with the third
Not long after their second goal, Colombia picks up a third by way of James Rodriguez and Juan Cuadrado. It's another counter-attack that punishes Poland. James Rodriguez picks up the ball in his defensive half and play and absolutely gorgeous pass to the rushing Juan Cuadrado. Cuadrado takes the ball into the box where he hits it to the right and scores. Poland are surely done now.

70'
Falcao doubles the lead
Another counter-attack by Colombia comes up with a goal. Juan Quintero picks out Radamel Falcao with a fantastic pass. Falcao runs down the field and picks up the ball in the center at the top of the penalty area. He continues his run into the penalty area and he is one on one with Wojciech Szczesny. Falcao calmly slots home to get a goal for himself.
70'
Goal
Radamel Falcao. Assist by Juan Quintero (Colombia)
66'
Lewandowski wins the header
Poland wins a throw-in deep in the Colombia half. Lukasz Piszczek gets the ball in high and far towards Robert Lewandowski. Lewandowski is able to get a head on it but both Davinson Sanchez and Yerry Mina stop the ball from getting to the net.
64'
Colombia keeps possession
Despite more impact from Robert Lewandowski, Poland are still chasing the ball more than they are controlling it. Colombia is playing passes and organizing attacks while the Polish are forced to react.
61'
The first yellow
Jan Bednarek earns himself a yellow card after a tactical foul on Mateus Uribe. Uribe looks set to be on the counter-attack but Bednarek pulls him down to stop the play at the half-way line.
61'
Yellow Card
Jan Bednarek (Poland)
58'
Lewandowski has a chance
A high and long ball gets to Robert Lewandowski. The striker controls the bell very well as he sets up to take a shot. David Ospina rushes down the Polish player and makes the save to maintain his teams' lead. Ospina stays down after the play but seems set to continue.
57'
Poland makes a change
Kamil Grosicki comes in for Dawid Kownacki on the left side. Poland are in search of the spark that will help them get a goal. Grosicki will be tasked with running down the left side of the field and pushing the Polish attack. He needs to have good link-up play with Robert Lewandowski.
57'
Substitution
Kamil Grosicki (on). Dawid Kownacki (off). (Poland)
56'
Quintero tries again
A quick break after a Poland give-away gets James Rodriguez and his team running down the field. James plays the ball to Juan Quintero who takes a shot but that shot is deflected away.
53'
Colombia threatening
Yet again it is Colombia who attack. James Rodriguez takes a shot that gets blocked by Jan Bednarek. The ball falls to Juan Cuadrado who puts in a cross but Wojciech Szczesny is there to grab the ball.
51'
Quintero takes a shot
Colombia build the attack and Juan Quintero receives the ball at the top of the penalty area on the right side. He attempts a shot but it goes well wide of the post. Soon after, Colombia have a counter-attack and Juan Cuadrado plays it to Radamel Falcao. Falcao takes a shot but it goes over the bar.
49'
Poland get a cross in
Bartosz Bereszynski works the ball down the right side and puts a cross towards the middle of the penalty area and the ball gets cleared by the Colombian defense. Lukasz Piszczek attempts a long throw-in and Robert Lewandowski is there to meet it but his headed effort goes out of bounds.
46'
Falcao gets the half started
The second half starts and Poland will look to equalize while Colombia seek to hold on to their lead.
45'
Colombia take the lead
Both teams needed a result to stay alive in this tournament and it is Colombia who has taken full advantage of their opportunities. It took them a bit to find their way into the game but once they got going, they could not be stopped. Juan Cuadrado was especially doing great work on the right side. The attacks final paid off as Colombia got their goal. Now they will just need to hang onto their lead.<br> Poland have not looked good so far this game. They have not been clinical enough in the final third of the field. Despite winning multiple corners, Poland are without a great chance on goal. Robert Lewandowski has yet to show up this game and has made little impact on the match. Poland will need to band together, do better work moving forward and find a equalizer if they want to keep afloat in this World Cup.
45'
Half-Time
The whistle blows, signaling the end of the first half.

Group H - Matchday 2 - Poland vs Colombia
Poland and Colombia find themselves in similar positions heading into their meeting today. Both were favorites in their first games but find themselves with zero points. Poland won their qualifying group and came into Group H as favorites to move on. Their first game against Senegal did not go as plan. An own goal and a momentary lack of awareness put them down 0-2 and they eventually lost 1-2. Coach Adam Nawlaka has made many changes to his squad, even changing the teams' formation. The team has shifted into a 3-4-3 from a 4-2-3-1 that they played against Senegal. Jan Bednarek comes in for Thiago Cionek, the play who scored the own goal. Elsewhere on the field Dawid Kownacki, Bartosz Bereszynski, and Jacek Goralski earn the start while Arkadiusz Milik, Kamil Grosicki, and Jakub Blaszcykowski head to the bench. Captain Robert Lewandowski needs to find his scoring boots ahead of this match since he has been the main goal scorer for this Polish team. He needs to carry and lead the team if they want to keep their hopes alive of moving on to the next round.<br> Colombia's first game did not go as planned either with Carlos Sanchez being given a straight red card for a handball three minutes into Colombia's game against Japan. They were put on the back-foot immediately and had to manage with a man disadvantage for almost the entire match. They fought back hard to get a goal but they eventually fell to Japan 1-2. Colombia will get a big boost in their line-up as James Rodriguez is able to start this game, James led Colombia to the quarter-finals last World Cup and will need to find that form that got him the Golden Boot. Wilmar Barrios, Abel Aguilar, and Yerry Mina will also start while Oscar Murillo, Jefferson Lerma, and Jose Izquierdo start the game on the bench. Carlos Sanchez will not be available for this game due to the red card. A group exit would be disastrous for Colombia and a result against Poland is needed for them to survive.
