Colombia came through a difficult Group K as winners and conceded just once, defeating Uzbekistan and Congo DR before drawing with Portugal in their final fixture.

That set up this showdown with Ghana, who advanced as the third best third place finisher on four points.

They defeated Panama on matchday one before drawing against England and although they were beaten to second place by Croatia in their final group game, were still comfortable qualifiers.

Anyone writing Colombian hero James Rodríguez off may need to think again after his performance in their final group game against Portugal, where he registered a Creativity Score of 7.80 in the FIFA Power Rankings - powered by Aramco.

However, there is no doubt that the main man in the final third is Luis Díaz, who had a staggering 9.50 Attacking Score against Uzbekistan and a Creativity Score of 8.80 in the same game.

At the back, Davinson Sánchez had the joint-highest Defensive Score with 7.70, while Daniel Muñoz had a 7.50 for the same category in their opener but has also contributed at the other end too and has two goals so far this summer.

For Ghana, Marvin Senaya still impressed despite the defeat to Croatia and had a game-high Defensive Score of 7.37 for that contest.

In their opener, Abdul Fatawu topped the Creativity Score for all players with 7.90, while they also had the top forward too, with Caleb Yirenkyi registering 8.40 for the same fixture.
