And Brazil take the lead through Thiago Silva as he bundles in Neymar’s corner after having escaped Carlos Sanchez’ attention! 7 mins, Brazil 1-0 Colombia!

1st - @neymarjr has provided his first assist for #BRA at the 2014 #WorldCup. Whipped.

And Colombia go close! Cuadrado with a great attempt which was deflected just wide of the post! 11 mins, Brazil 1-0 Colombia!

Rodriguez with a briliant run but the final ball by Cuadrado doesn’t do justice! Watch the run here! 22 mins, Brazil 1-0 Colombia!

What a free-kick that was by David Luiz! The ball swerved like crazy before it went in! 69 mins, Brazil 2-0 Colombia!

Here’s the goal from another angle! Boy did that swerve!

Penalty to Colombia! Lovely move by Colombia saw Bacca fouled by Cesar! Rodriguez steps up to take the penalty and converts coolly! 80 mins, Brazil 2-1 Colombia!

5 - James Rodríguez has scored in each of his five #WorldCup appearances so far, bagging six goals in total. Talisman.

Neymar goes off the field injured and in tears! He was replaced by Henrique! 90 mins, Brazil 2-1 Colombia!

Check this out! Huge praying mantis on Rodriguez’s arm as he was celebrating his penalty conversion! Woah!

It had been 12 years since a left footed player scored a penalty (exculding shootouts) in a World Cup. The last was Recoba, 06.11.2002.

A teary eyed James Rodriguez is consoled by Dani Alves as David Luiz eggs the crowd on to cheer for him!
