Colombia led 1-0 at half time.

The South Americans opened the scoring as early as the fifth minute when a deflection trickled agonisingly over the over line beating the wrong-footed Greek goalkeeper.

Greece had the majority of ball possession in the half, as they tried valiantly to equalise but found it difficult breaching the Colombian defence, according to jamaicaobserver.com.

Colombia doubled the score after the break in the 58th minute when Teofilo Gutierrez stabbed in from a corner.

Greece five minutes later, in what seemed a sure goal, saw the ball crash against the bar from a six-yard header, as they tried desperately to reduce the deficit.

But controlling the tempo of the game, despite Greece's efforts, the Colombians widen the score in time added on through James Rodriguez.
