ALL THE BIG MATCH FACTS

England are unbeaten against Colombia in five meetings (W3 D2). Their last encounter dates back to May 2005 in New Jersey. Michael Owen scored a hat-trick as England won 3-2.

The Three Lions beat Colombia in their only World Cup encounter thanks to goals from Darren Anderton and David Beckham (2-0) in 1998.

Colombia have reached the knockout stages of the World Cup for the third time, but it’s the first time they have accomplished it in consecutive tournaments (1990, 2014, 2018). The only previous occasion they’ve gone past the round of 16 was in 2014.

Three of Colombia’s five goals at this year’s WC have come from set-pieces (two corners, one free-kick), while England have scored more goals from deadball situations than any other team in the group stages (6).

Colombia have scored in each of their last eight WC games, the longest current run of any team as of the end of the 2018 group stages. The last time Colombia failed to find the net in the tournament was in June 1998 against England (0-2).
