2. 90:00 +6:00Jaminton Campaz (Colombia) picks up a pass and hits the ball towards the top left corner, but he can't generate enough power to trouble Lawrence Ati Zigi.
3. 90:00 +5:33Richard Rios (Colombia) produces a long-range cannon of a shot after a nice pass. The ball heads towards the bottom right corner, but is stopped by a great save from Lawrence Ati Zigi and the score remains the same.
4. 90:00 +5:08Gustavo Puerta (Colombia) decides to strike the ball towards goal, but his effort fails to threaten the goalkeeper after being blocked by one of the defenders.
5. 90:00 +4:00The Colombia players keep the ball and are exchanging a combination of passes. They are waiting for gaps in the defence to open up.
6. 90:00 +2:44Gideon Mensah (Ghana) is able to continue to play.
7. 90:00 +2:00Gideon Mensah (Ghana) requires medical treatment, so the referee stops play and signals for the physio to come onto the pitch.
8. 90:00 +1:15Richard Rios (Colombia) gets on the end of a nice cross, but places his close-range header well wide of the left post. The ball is off of the pitch and it's a goal kick for Ghana.
