Colombia vs England: 5 Talking Points as England Advance on Penalties, World Cup 2018

#5 Colombia lose their heads but manage to take the game to penalties

Colombia's Yerry Mina scores the equaliser in the 92nd minute

After going 1-0 down, Jose Pekerman made a change and withdrew Jefferson Lerma for Carlos Bacca. The intent was clear, the South American side were going to match England's formation with a 3-5-2 formation of their own.

However, the antics and fouls continued to interrupt the game and it reached a point where football wasn't the primary focus of the game. The Colombians had tried to kick up the turf near the penalty spot before Kane's spot-kick and that did not work.

They then proceeded to foul the English players and it reached a point where even both strikers Bacca and Falcao were booked. It wasn't until the 80th minute that they seemed to realise that they were 1-0 down and that they needed a goal.

England coach Gareth Southgate responded by taking off a poor Dele Alli for Eric Dier so the Three Lions would have security in midfield. They switched to a 3-4-1-2 formation with Dier and Henderson behind Lingard who played in a no.10 role.

It was enough to keep Colombia at bay for 90 minutes. But stoppage time saw Colombia score from a set-piece - Yerry Mina again, scoring his third goal of the tournament. It was the first time England had conceded in stoppage time in World Cup history.

Yerry Mina scores his 3rd goal at the 2018 #WorldCup, equalling the World Cup record for most goals by a defender at a single World Cup set by Germany's Paul Breitner in 1974. #COL
