Colombia and Senegal both have a chance to qualify for the round of 16 in their group-play finale Thursday, although so too does Japan, which plays Poland in the other, simultaneous Group H match. Senegal would clinch advancement with a win or a draw, while Colombia needs to win to guarantee a spot in the knockout stage.

Colombia is coming off a 3-0 victory over Poland, which was the highest-ranked team in the group entering the World Cup.
