    "That's a big let-off for Ivory Coast and it came out of nothing but it was a great strike and was unlucky to hit the crossbar."

  4. Japan 0-1 Colombiapublished at 21:35 British Summer Time 24 June 2014

    Japan go close. Keisuke Honda stands over a free-kick 22 yards out and sends his effort over the wall but just wide of the post. They are pushing for that equaliser now.

  5. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 21:34 British Summer Time 24 June 2014

    Where did this come from? Greece break swiftly through Georgios Samaras, who splits the defence with a pass to give Jose Holebas sight of goal. Holebas smashes an effort that cracks the woodwork. A let-off for the Ivory Coast.

    After starting on the bench in the last game, Shinji Kagawa is back in the side to face Colombia and he almost vindicates Alberto Zaccheroni's decision to play him when he opens up space for himself on the edge of the area and strikes a low effort at goal. Keeper David Ospina flings his body towards the ball and manages to deny him. Japan need a big performance from Kagawa.

    "I would like to see Ivory Coast try and get Yaya Toure on the ball more. We all know how good he is and if they can, I think they will have a lot of joy."

    JCL:, external Greece are so negative. Never look forward to seeing them play. No ambition/creativity. Rare in this World Cup thankfully.

    "It's about getting experience and the goalkeeper certainly will be under pressure now, so it's a case of how he will handle it. It may just encourage Ivory Coast to shoot from distance to test him and see how good he is."

    Greece's hopes of recording a win are dealt another blow as goalkeeper Orestis Karneis motions to the bench. He can't continue because of that earlier back injury and on comes PAOK's Panagiotis Glykos. Greece pulled off a minor miracle to beat Russia and progress against the odds from the group stage of Euro 2012. They will need something similar in this game.

    "The game has not got going yet. All these players bring injured and all these stoppages mean it has been very much stop-start so far."

  13. Postpublished at 21:25 British Summer Time 24 June 2014

    Almost for Ivory Coast as Yaya Toure attempts to slip a pass between Kostas Manolas and Dimitris Salpingidis for Didier Drogba inside the area but he overhits it, giving Drogba too much to do.

  14. Postpublished at 21:23 British Summer Time 24 June 2014

    Greece have already lost one player through injury and there are some anxious faces on their bench as goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis needs treatment for a lower back injury. He is able to carry on, but the substitute goalkeepers are warming up just in case.

    Group C

    Colombia are going through as Group C winners as it stands, which will set-up a last-16 game against Uruguay. A draw is good enough for Ivory Coast to take second place and, at the moment, things are going according to plan for them against Greece.

    Former Manchester United assistant manager Rene Meulensteen on BBC Radio 5 live:

    "It was a rash challenge, definite foul, and the penalty is put away which puts Colombia in the driving seat even more."

    Japan need a win to have a chance of progressing, but they face an almighty task now as Juan Cuadrado, one of Colombia's many impressive players in this tournament so far, confidently fires the penalty low to the keeper's right. At the moment, top spot is Colombia's.

    Disaster for Japan as Yasuyuki Konna hacks down Adrian Ramos inside the area. Up steps Juan Cuadrado...
