GOALLL COLOMBIA 🇨🇴 James Rodríguez has brought this game to life! First he hits a rocket of a shot from 30 yards, tipped over by Remiro, and now he's played a delightful ball to set Luis Díaz away. He skips into the area and crosses for Muñoz to volley home at the back post 🦅
Fantastic save from Camilo Vargas to deny Gerard Moreno, who sends a vicious volley towards the bottom left corner. Colombia have brought on James Rodríguez to much excitement, while David Raya has made way for Real Sociedad's Alex Remiro for another international debut 👏

Really nice atmosphere here tonight, Colombia in particular with a lot of support in the stands. James Rodríguez gets the loudest cheer of the night, closely followed by Álvaro Morata on the Spanish bench, interestingly enough. Kick-off is imminent ⚽️ https://t.co/tNkKoPMMw9
