Striker Teofilo Gutierrez poked in Colombias second goal from a deflected corner in the 58th and James Rodriguez capped it off with a low shot in stoppage time after a slick backheel flick from Juan Cuadrado.

Greece had the majority of possession with 54 per cent, but whenever Colombia players got hold off the ball, they blazed down the flanks and through the middle of the pitch, disorientating their opponents. The Greeks had a chance to pull a goal back after Gutierrezs goal, but an unmarked Georgios Samaras rattled the crossbar from two yards out. There were other chances, too.
