Colombia defeat Ghana 1-0 in a World Cup match to advance to a last-16 meeting with Switzerland. In the first half, Colombia score the only goal in the 14th minute, with Arias finishing from a cross delivered by substitute Luis Suarez. Colombia then manage the game with a disciplined defensive performance, limiting Ghana’s ability to create clear chances. Multiple reports describe Colombia as unbeaten in the tournament leading into the match, extending that run with the win over Ghana. One outlet also notes that Colombia had been relatively low-profile despite topping Group K earlier in the tournament, collecting results without losing against Portugal, Uzbekistan and DR Congo. The result means the teams’ tournament paths now intersect at the next stage, where Colombia face Switzerland after eliminating Ghana.
