Colombia made it two wins out of two in Group C as they battled to a 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast.
After a first half notable primarily for Teofilo Gutierrez's fluffed attempt to put Colombia ahead on 28 minutes, the match burst into life in the second half.
As the game approached the hour mark, Max Gradel came close to capitalising on a defensive blunder but failed to get his shot away before, at the other end, Juan Cuadrado saw an effort tipped onto the crossbar.
Soon afterwards, Colombia did make the breakthrough as James Rodriguez powered a header past Boubacar Barry from Cuadrado's corner.
They swiftly made it two as substitute Juan Quintero rounded off a quick counter for his first ever international goal, but Gervinho reduced the arrears as David Ospina was unable to keep out his curling shot into the bottom corner.
Colombia had to withstand late pressure but held on for a victory that makes them almost certain to progress to the next round.
