Yerry Mina scored for the second consecutive game with his header in the 74th minute that helped Colombia finish as group winners in Group G.

After being left out in their loss against Japan, Mina made a mark in Colombia's win over Poland with a well taken goal, and continued his goal scoring form against Senegal as well.

Apart from scoring his 5th goal in 14 games for the national team, the 23 year old looked sharp at the back for Colombia and hardly put a foot wrong during the entirety of the game. Mina established a formidable partnership at the heart of the defence with Davinson Sanchez, and was able to keep the Senegalese attackers at bay for prolonged periods.

Mina grabbed the headlines when he scored Colombia's most important goal in the tournament so far, and for a player who is uncertain about his future at club level with FC Barcelona, he has made quite an impression over the last couple of games.
