00:00That is an astonishing miss.
00:09And with that we will have the cooling break.
00:15We will have a cooling break in each half.
00:22And a reminder that we will have cooling breaks at the World Cup in the summer.
00:30Several of the venues will be rather warm.
00:37So a chance to regroup and a chance for a bit of a tactical team talk from both head coaches.
00:45And even from the captain there, Luka Modric, not starting tonight.
00:52While the players take on some liquid refreshment, let's have a look at the two goals.
00:57Both came early.
00:58John Arias with the first.
01:02I think Livakovic might well have been able to save it.
01:11Arias getting his fourth goal for his country.
01:14And then this came out of nothing really.
01:18Luka Vuscovic with the shot.
01:20And again, a deflection off a defender to take it past the goalkeeper.
01:25Camilo Vargas beaten.
01:28And the teenager getting his first goal for his country.
01:50And the teenager getting his first goal for his country.
01:56And that time was pushed back.
01:59And that time is really the best goal for listening to Leasmeyer.
02:17To the cooling break, lasting three minutes.
02:27it's of course a chance for both of these teams to try and get used to some of the
02:33state here and conditions in the united states of america mohamis rodriguez that's not particularly
02:39a problem he is with minnesota united
02:45had a year with leon in mexico last year
02:53how about this for a miss quite incredible
02:59lewis suarez did not turn that in
03:07that is with sporting in portugal
03:13did only a couple of players in the colombian squad are actually
03:20based still in colombia that's the same case with
03:26croatia one of those dominic liverkovich goal for croatia this evening
03:37and it's
03:39marco pasilic but it has been paid at quite a pace this match so far this international friendly

04:51corner taken quickly and short diaz
04:55rodriguez
04:57away by the first defender rios will pick up leaves it for munoz
05:01who in turn leaves it for rios
05:09yes with the ball into the area rodriguez well that got a touch off matanovic

05:27the yellow clad majority amongst the spectators
05:43rios rodriguez
05:50kreis
05:51kreis have a player down
05:55rios will put the ball out
05:58it's perisic who's down on that far side
06:23here's the challenge
06:24it's actually ordered nicola vlasic
06:36that's actually 28 year old who's with torino in italy
06:49he's had effort well saved by liverkovich
07:00he's had effort well saved by liverkovich
07:00we're going to push it away to safety
07:07passage okay to continue
07:25here to the three-minute calling break automatically added on to the 45 of this
07:32first half Rios that's it still receiving treatment over on that fast side so Croatia at the moment
07:51down to 10 Lerba Diaz
08:03we also at the touch Rodriguez easily away the cuba
08:15Rodriguez
08:33we're just trying to go on the overlap Paris itch with the challenge
08:48it's been quite lenient this referee so far tonight
08:58which could also be interpreted as trying to let the game flow
09:07right by Sanchez Rios picks up Colombia having the better of play since the resumption after the
09:15cooling break
09:24the cuba
09:30which could only be taken to the second half of the next half of the season
09:32which could only be the better of the season
09:34which could only be the better of the season
09:36Sanchez
09:49Vargas
10:14Rekin.
10:16He has one goal.
10:17the central defender it came quite recently in the friendly win over
10:21Mexico back in October when Colombia won by four goals to nil
10:29ball won by Morrow Suchich trying to turn can't do so Morrow is still down
10:35having one possession for his team that'll be a foul and that'll be a yellow
10:41card first off the evening
10:49and not much doubt about it either
10:57Colombia are in danger of breaking away that
11:11that out Suchich the player
11:16clearly pulling back the onrushing Diaz
11:49the
11:51the
11:51the
12:11the space on that far side Vlasic finds Perisic
12:18Perisic with the shot parried away by the goalkeeper
12:21and Colombia was slightly fortunate there and that nobody in Croatia colours was able to follow up
12:30as the shot comes in here from Perisic
12:37Marko Pasalic
12:41lovely little pullback
12:44and trickery as well here Pasalic once more to drive it towards goal
12:50and into the side netting but it got a touch on the way through
12:53and it will be a corner for Croatia
12:57Vargas
12:59getting a hand to it
13:01this is a lovely little run here
13:04from Suicic
13:12it's a crowded penalty area
13:22headed down and headed in
13:24Igor Matanovic
13:33Matanovic gets just his second goal for Croatia and having been 1-0 down early on Croatia are heading towards
13:40half-time in front
13:52well when the goalkeeper Vargas doesn't get there
13:56it was always a question of who was going to get on the end of it
14:01and Matanovic was the man in the right place at the right time
14:09the German-born striker
14:12makes it Croatia 2, Colombia 1
14:20scored by number 20, Igor Matanovic
14:24scored by number 20, Igor Matanovic
14:24in the 43rd minute
14:27in the 43rd minute
14:41might have quite a few changes at half-time from both head coaches
14:51mindful of the fact that they
14:55have responsibilities towards players clubs as the European season in particular draws to its conclusion
15:07and also wanting to see various players in action
15:11even if it is only for 45 minutes, half an hour or so
15:17touch from Munoz, nicely done
15:19and he's gone for the ball on the overlap as well
15:21Alias tried to find him
15:24it's away by Vlasic, almost
15:28and now turned into touch by Perisic, sliding in
15:34Perisic made his debut way back in 2011
15:37and that he's gone for the 11th
15:37and he's gone for the 11th
15:54Rodriguez
15:57should be cleared and is by Ehrlich
16:07Sanchez
16:09Fourth official will shortly share
16:11How much additional time is to be played
16:24And it is a minimum of four minutes
16:35A little bit of afters there between
16:37Matinovic and Sanchez
16:45The hand striker and the experienced defender
16:47With a bit of a disagreement
17:03Lerba
17:07Marika
17:08Marika.
17:20Hukube, Sanchez.
17:43Diaz, Rios, space over on that far side, Munoz quickly closed down though by Perisic, no way through for Arias,
17:54Sanchez, turns away from Matinovic,
18:24Rodriguez, Rios,
18:54Rios,
19:11Eletch,
19:11Eletch,
19:43Eletch,
19:43Alejandro,
19:47Sanchez

20:04four-minute mark the minimum of four additional minutes at the end of this
20:08first half Lerma
20:14like a drives it into the middle is the away though my Voscovich and that is
20:24halftime the first half played at a lively pace and with a terrific opening
20:30John Arias putting Colombia in front Luka Voscovich with the equalizer soon
20:39afterwards and then Igor Matanovic putting Croatia in front just before
20:45half-time at the break Croatia 2 Colombia 1
