Peep! And that's yer lot. Not quite as comfortable for Colombia as it sounded, perhaps, but Cuadrado and Yepes were well worth the three goals and the clean sheet. Plenty to build on there for Colombia, and trouble for Greece.

GOAL! James Rodriguez wraps it all up. More good work from the excellent Cuadrado, and Rodriguez finishes smartly to add gloss to the scoreline.

Three minutes of added time here. Greece can't even show any real urgency with this much time left on the clock.
89'
As you might expect, Colombia are just looking to stroke it around and keep hold of the ball. Anyone know any good jokes?
85'
Samaras bends a low shot just wide. He's been quite typical today - lively, but providing very little in the way of any tangible danger.
82'
Colombia are slightly lazily looking for a third, but both sides have accepted their fate here. The late game between the Ivory Coast and Japan will be very big now that Greece are in trouble.

Just the 136th cap for Giorgios Karagounis, who comes on for Kone. I think this one's done.

And here's Jackson Martinez. It was a slight surprise he didn't start, so it's another surprise that he's taken so long to get on. He replaces Gutierrez.
75'
Oh, wait, obviously it was Matthew Upson. Sorry, that's not as interesting as I thought it would be. Anyway, here's Cuadrado - he goes on a good run but then he overhits it with his final touch. Colombia look surprisingly jiggered out there.
74'
Armero is off, and Santiago Arias replaces him. Does anyone know who the last West Ham player to score at a World Cup was? I'll try and find out for you.
71'
The 'ole's are out for Colombia, who are coasting now. Greece are looking increasingly desperate and not really getting any closer to scoring.

That was Gekas' last touch, too - he's replaced by Kostas Mitroglou. Meanwhile, Mejia comes on for Aguilar for the Colombians.
66'
Torosidis sends in a deep ball, but Yepes is there again to deal with it. It's been a strange game - Colombia haven't been bothered too much but they've hardly been sensational.
64'

That was Greece's chance. Gekas misses an absolute sitter as a set-piece is flicked back into his path with the goal gaping no more than five yards out. Unfortunately for Greece, he clangs it off the bar. Matters almost get even worse when Rodriguez breaks with it, but Papastathopoulos hacks away the loose ball.
63'
Colombia haven't exactly been on fire up front in this game, but while their forwards have been a little underrwhelming, Yepes has been hugely impressive. His defending has been flawless.

Greece can't really complain too much - they've had quite a lot of the ball, but they've done very little with it. Kone and Samaras the only real bright spots.

GOAL! Teofilo Gutierrez! A Colombian corner is flicked on by Aguilar and Gutierrez is waiting in the six-yard box to prod home. A big goal for Colombia, who should surely win this now.

Greece make their first change. Salpingidis off, Fetfatzidis on.
55'
Now Salpingidis is in the book, too. Greece are increasingly resorting to violence to keep Colombia at bay here, although the South Americans have been low on quality up front. Ibarbo has had no end product at all.
54'
Rodriguez tries his luck, but it's into the wall. The ball comes back to Cuadrado, but he puts it into orbit.
