Below are highlights of all nine goals and brief recaps of each result.
Costa Rica 0-0 England
Goals: None
A scoreless draw between England and Costa Rica saw Los Ticos finish atop Group D with seven points. Chances were few and far between in the mildly entertaining affair. The most noteworthy came in the 23rd minute. A Celso Borges free-kick was parried safely by Ben Foster, allowing both sides to enter the break scoreless. Neither England nor Costa Rica had much to offer from there.
Colombia 4-1 Japan
Goals: Colombia—Cuadrado 17’ Martinez 55’, 82’ Rodriguez 89’; Japan—Okazaki
Colombia continued to flex its Group C muscle, thumping Japan 4-1 on Tuesday. An opening goal from Juan Cuadrado was countered by a Shinji Okazaki header just before the half, but Colombia was too much for Japan to handle. Second half goals from James Rodriguez and Jackson Martinez saw Colombia capture the full three points.
