Pablo Armero’s deflected shot gave
Colombia a 1-0 lead in its opening round World Cup match with
Greece in Brazil.
The defender’s shot went off a Greek player and into the
goal in the fifth minute in Belo Horizonte.
There are four games today, with Colombia taking on Greece
and Ivory Coast meeting Japan in Group C matches. In Group D,
Uruguay faces Costa Rica and England plays Italy.
Two teams from each group advance to the round of 16, with
the winner of Group C playing Group D’s runnerup, and the Group
D champion playing the second-placed Group C team.
Yesterday, Chile beat Australia 3-1, and the Netherlands
rallied from a goal down to maul defending champion Spain a 5-1
in Group B games.
In a group A match, Mexico beat Cameroon 1-0 on Oribe
Peralta’s second-half goal. Brazil, the host and record five-time champions, beat Croatia 3-1 in the other Group A game
