Colombia will play Hosts Brazil in the quarter-
finals of the 2014 Fifa World Cup after
two goals from James Rodriguez sealed
victory over Uruguay.
The As Monaco man opened the scoring in
spectacular fashion with a volley from
25 yards which crashed in off the bar.
Uruguay, without the suspended Luis
Suarez, were poor throughout and fell
further behind after the break.
Rodriguez finished off a wonderful team
move with a close-range shot for his
fifth goal of the tournament.
Uruguay finished strongly and had
chances to reduce the deficit but Maxi
Pereira’s half-volley from close range
was straight at the onrushing goalkeeper
David Ospina who later saved a long-
range strike from Edinson Cavani.
