Poland lost to Senegal by a 2-1 margin while Colombia suffered 2-1 defeat at the hands of Japan. Neither would have wanted to go out of the FIFA World Cup 2018 from the group stage. Thus, a sense of urgency should have been present in both the sides but Poland showed none in yesterday’s Poland Vs Colombia match.

James Rodriguez took the corner with a short pass to Cuadrado who passed the ball to Quintero near the edge of the box. James again received the ball inside the box with a clever pass from Quintero. Yerry Mina headed the ball into the net with a great cross from the magical left foot of James Rodriguez.

Colombia were boosted by the fact that there star player James Rodriguez was fully fit and included in the starting eleven for the Poland Vs Colombia match. Their attacking quartet of Juan Quintero, Juan Cuadrado, James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao were instrumental and made sure that the defeat they suffered in the last match at the hands of Japan would not affect their performances. They combined well and steered the Colombian team to a comprehensive victory with a score line of 3-0 against the Polish team.

The Colombian defense were up to the task of matching the in-form striker Robert Lewandowski. They made sure that the Polish No.9 would not get any space and were always tight to the striker. The duo of Davinson Sanchez and Yerry Mina defended very well and made sure that any danger that came from the Polish side was dealt with.
