Colombia have virtually assured themselves of a place in the last-16 after edging Ivory Coast in their Group C clash.

After both teams won their opening matches in Group C, the South American side put themselves in pole position to advance as the group winners thanks to second half goals from James Rodríguez and Juan Quintero.

Rodriguez headed in a corner, while Quintero finished off a counter-attack.

But Ivory Coast pulled a goal bak through former Arsenal striker Gervinho to put pressure on the Colombians.

However, Colombia hung on despite enduring waves of Ivorian attacks in the final quarter hour of the match.
