'21:55
FULL TIME: INDIA 1-2 COLOMBIA
India's dreams of qualifying to the second stage is all but over.
Jeakson made history as he scored India's first goal at a FIFA tournament but it wasn't enough to earn Team India a win.
'21:53
Dheeraj makes another great save but Colombia are controlling the ball in the final minutes.
'21:50
5 minutes of added time. Can India pull back a point here to keep its U-17 WC dreams alive?

OH NO!!!
Colombia are ahead again within seconds of India's equaliser.

Colombia lead courtesy Penaloza's 49th minute goal.
'21:35
Another change.
Boris, who was seen struggling a bit, is being withdrawn now. Nongdamba Naorem takes his place.
No doubt, Boris has played his heart out today.
'21:30
Aniket get ahead and receives the ball in the box but is ruled offside. But was he?
'21:27
India make their first substitution. Aniket Jadhav comes in for Abhijit Sarkar.
'21:23
Apart from the goal, India have defended well. They have used the offiside play to keep Colombia in check.
'21:18
OHHHHH!
Rahim Ali's shot finds the net but he is ruled offside. The fans can't believe this.
'21:15
Boris is struggling it seems. The medics have rushed to take care of it. He is playing with a bandage now.
'21:10
Oh No!
Colombia have taken the lead early in the second half.
Juan Penaloza with a brilliant goal from outside the box. He receives the ball and cuts in from left side of goal. The ball crashes into the net on the far side.
'21:05
Here we go again. The second half is about to get underway.
Look who is keeping an eye...
Whoa! David James is watching too.
That's question we all are asking, isn't it?
'20:51
3 minutes of added time to play.
Rahul comes close to scoring but his shot hits the woodwork.
The score remains 0-0 at half time.
'20:47
Dheeraj gets himself into a tangle with the goalpost net and suffers a slight injury. He is ok, though.
Meanwhile, coach de Matos seems to have pulled a muscle running at the sidelines.
'20:45
BRILLIANT SAVE BY DHEERAJ!
Colombia fire one from just outside the box and Dheeraj makes an acrobatic save. Stadium is chanting 'DHEERAJ, DHEERAJ'
'20:43
Amarjit is brought down in the midfield. Anwar Ali tries to head the free kick home but it is easily collected by the goalkeeper.
'20:40
SHOT AT GOAL!
Good attack by Colombia. Cross from the right and header straight towards goal. Dheeraj make a save.
'20:35
At the front, Ninthoi mounts an attack on his own but is eventually taken down.
At the back, Anwar is playing brilliant defensive football, although sometimes it means agonising pain. Great spirit being shown by Team India.
'20:30
Colombia get in the box from the right wing but Anwar Ali throws himself to keep the danger away.
'20:28
'20:25
India have dominated the last few minutes of the play. However, they are lacking the finishing department.
Ninthoi makes a good pass but it was too heavy for Rahim Ali.
India are looking good here and coach de Matos thinks they should have scored already.
'20:20
CLOSE
INDIA mount a brilliant attack from a throw in. Ninthoinganba wriggles with the ball down the right wing and somehow gets it to Boris who plays a brilliant one-two with Abhijit Sarkar.
Abhijit dances through the defenders and directs it to goal. In the end, it hits the goalkeeper and flies away. Corner for India but it is cleared away easily.
'20:15
A stupid pass could have caused problems for India. It was a lazy back and forth between defender and the goalkeeper and Colombian striker almost stole the ball. In the end it was cleared away safely.
India have defended well so far. The only attempts from Colombia have been far and high.
'20:10
Not much action so far. Colombia tied to mount an attacks through a throw in from left side of the Indian goal, but it was easily picked by Dheeraj.
