Matches All times listed are local time. Colombia vs Japan The two teams had met in three previous matches, most recently in a 2014 FIFA World Cup group stage game, won by Colombia 4 -- 1. In the third minute, Carlos Sánchez blocked Shinji Kagawa 's 20 - yard shot with his arm and the referee pointed to the penalty spot before showing the midfielder a straight red card. After lengthy protests, Sanchez eventually left the field and Kagawa slotted the penalty into the bottom right corner of the net. José Pékerman then replaced Juan Cuadrado with Wílmar Barrios at the half - hour mark, and an equaliser arrived nine minutes later, from a Juan Fernando Quintero free kick, shot low under the jumping wall which the goalkeeper failed to keep out. In the second half, David Ospina dived full length to his left to stop Takashi Inui 's curling 20 - yard shot. Yuya Osako then headed the ball into the far corner of the net from a Keisuke Honda corner from the left. With 13 minutes left, James Rodríguez 's strike from inside the box was turned over the crossbar by the outstretched leg of Osako. Quintero became the first Colombia player in history to score at two World Cups. Japan became the first Asian team to beat a South American team in the competition 's history. Honda is the first player from an Asian nation to provide an assist in three different World Cup tournaments since 1966. Eiji Kawashima ( 35 years, 91 days ) became the oldest player to appear for Japan in a World Cup finals match. 19 June 2018 ( 2018 - 06 - 19 ) 15 : 00 MSK ( UTC + 3 ) Colombia 1 -- 2 Japan Quintero 39 ' Report Kagawa 6 ' ( pen. ) Osako 73 ' Mordovia Arena, Saransk Attendance : 40,842 Referee : Damir Skomina ( Slovenia ) Colombia Japan GK David Ospina RB Santiago Arias CB 23 Dávinson Sánchez CB Óscar Murillo LB 17 Johan Mojica CM 6 Carlos Sánchez 3 ' CM 16 Jefferson Lerma RW 11 Juan Cuadrado 31 ' AM 20 Juan Fernando Quintero 59 ' LW 21 José Izquierdo 70 ' CF 9 Radamel Falcao ( c ) Substitutions : MF 5 Wílmar Barrios 64 ' 31 ' MF 10 James Rodríguez 86 ' 59 ' FW 7 Carlos Bacca 70 ' Manager : José Pékerman GK Eiji Kawashima 90 + 4 ' RB 19 Hiroki Sakai CB 22 Maya Yoshida CB Gen Shoji LB 5 Yuto Nagatomo CM 17 Makoto Hasebe ( c ) CM 7 Gaku Shibasaki 80 ' RW 8 Genki Haraguchi AM 10 Shinji Kagawa 70 ' LW 14 Takashi Inui CF 15 Yuya Osako 85 ' Substitutions : MF Keisuke Honda 70 ' MF 16 Hotaru Yamaguchi 80 ' FW 9 Shinji Okazaki 85 ' Manager : Akira Nishino Man of the Match : Yuya Osako ( Japan ) Assistant referees : Jure Praprotnik ( Slovenia ) Robert Vukan ( Slovenia ) Fourth official : Mehdi Abid Charef ( Algeria ) Reserve assistant referee : Anouar Hmila ( Tunisia ) Video assistant referee : Danny Makkelie ( Netherlands ) Assistant video assistant referees : Bastian Dankert ( Germany ) Sander van Roekel ( Netherlands ) Felix Zwayer ( Germany ) Poland vs Senegal The two teams had never met before. Senegal had the first clear chance in the 18th minute, M'Baye Niang dragging an effort wide after a break. Senegal took the lead when Idrissa Gueye 's 20 - yard shot took a huge deflection off Thiago Cionek to wrong - foot Poland goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny and give Senegal the lead. Robert Lewandowski stepped up to float a 25 - yard free - kick over the wall, Khadim N'Diaye dived to turn the ball away. Grzegorz Krychowiak hooked a high ball back towards his own goal from inside the Senegal half and with Szczesny attempting to intercept by coming out of his penalty area, Niang knocked the ball past him before side footing into an unguarded goal. Arkadiusz Milik slotted a Łukasz Piszczek cross wide at the near post. Dawid Kownacki 's headed attempt was saved late on by N'Diaye but the goalkeeper was beaten by Krychowiak 's header with five minutes to go after a free kick from the right. Cionek became the first Polish player to score an own goal in a World Cup match. Cionek 's own goal was only the second time an African nation has benefited from an own goal in a World Cup match, after Andoni Zubizarreta for Spain against Nigeria in 1998. Senegal continued their impressive undefeated in the opening World Cup match, having beaten France 1 -- 0 in 2002. 19 June 2018 ( 2018 - 06 - 19 ) 18 : 00 MSK ( UTC + 3 ) Poland 1 -- 2 Senegal Krychowiak 86 ' Report Cionek 37 ' ( o.g. ) Niang 60 ' Otkritie Arena, Moscow Attendance : 44,190 Referee : Nawaf Shukralla ( Bahrain ) Poland Senegal GK Wojciech Szczęsny RB 20 Łukasz Piszczek 83 ' CB Thiago Cionek CB Michał Pazdan LB 13 Maciej Rybus CM 10 Grzegorz Krychowiak 12 ' CM 19 Piotr Zieliński RW 16 Jakub Błaszczykowski 46 ' AM 7 Arkadiusz Milik 73 ' LW 11 Kamil Grosicki CF 9 Robert Lewandowski ( c ) Substitutions : DF 5 Jan Bednarek 46 ' FW 23 Dawid Kownacki 73 ' DF 18 Bartosz Bereszyński 83 ' Manager : Adam Nawałka GK 16 Khadim N'Diaye RB 22 Moussa Wagué CB Kalidou Koulibaly CB 6 Salif Sané 49 ' LB 12 Youssouf Sabaly RM 10 Sadio Mané ( c ) CM 13 Alfred N'Diaye 87 ' CM 5 Idrissa Gueye 72 ' LM 18 Ismaïla Sarr CF 9 Mame Biram Diouf 62 ' CF 19 M'Baye Niang 75 ' Substitutions : MF 11 Cheikh N'Doye 62 ' FW 14 Moussa Konaté 75 ' MF 8 Cheikhou Kouyaté 87 ' Manager : Aliou Cissé Man of the Match : M'Baye Niang ( Senegal ) Assistant referees : Yaser Tulefat ( Bahrain ) Taleb Al Maari ( Qatar ) Fourth official : Abdulrahman Al - Jassim ( Qatar ) Reserve assistant referee : Mohamed Al Hammadi ( United Arab Emirates ) Video assistant referee : Artur Soares Dias ( Portugal ) Assistant video assistant referees : Tiago Martins ( Portugal ) Hernán Maidana ( Argentina ) Wilton Sampaio ( Brazil ) Japan vs Senegal The two teams had faced each other three times, most recently in a friendly in 2003, won by Senegal 1 -- 0. Senegal took the lead in the 11th minute when Japanese goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima spilled a Youssouf Sabaly shot into the path of Sadio Mané, who hit the ball in from close range. Japan responded in the 34th minute when Yuto Nagatomo received a ball over the top and sent it to Takashi Inui, who curled a shot into the bottom corner past the Senegalese defenders. Yuya Osako missed a close chance in front of the Senegal net and Inui 's shot struck the crossbar, before Senegal retook the lead in the 71st minute, when Moussa Wagué finished a low Sabaly cross into the top corner. Japan equalised again just seven minutes later, when Senegal goalkeeper Khadim N'Diaye failed to collect an Osako cross, leading to Inui sending the ball to Japanese substitute Keisuke Honda, who finished at the near post. Wagué became the youngest African goalscorer at a World Cup, at the age of 19 years and 268 days. With his goal, Honda became the first Japanese player to score at three different World Cups, as well as the top scoring Asian player in World Cup history with four goals. Japan equalled their best points tally of four after two group games at a World Cup, just as they did as co-hosts in 2002. 24 June 2018 ( 2018 - 06 - 24 ) 20 : 00 YEKT ( UTC + 5 ) Japan 2 -- 2 Senegal Inui 34 ' Honda 78 ' Report Mané 11 ' Wagué 71 ' Central Stadium, Yekaterinburg Attendance : 32,572 Referee : Gianluca Rocchi ( Italy ) Japan Senegal GK Eiji Kawashima RB 19 Hiroki Sakai CB 22 Maya Yoshida CB Gen Shoji LB 5 Yuto Nagatomo CM 17 Makoto Hasebe ( c ) 90 + 4 ' CM 7 Gaku Shibasaki RW 8 Genki Haraguchi 75 ' AM 10 Shinji Kagawa 72 ' LW 14 Takashi Inui 68 ' 87 ' CF 15 Yuya Osako Substitutions : MF Keisuke Honda 72 ' FW 9 Shinji Okazaki 75 ' MF 11 Takashi Usami 87 ' Manager : Akira Nishino GK 16 Khadim N'Diaye RB 12 Youssouf Sabaly 90 ' CB Kalidou Koulibaly CB 6 Salif Sané LB 22 Moussa Wagué CM 17 Badou Ndiaye 81 ' CM 13 Alfred N'Diaye 65 ' CM 5 Idrissa Gueye RF 18 Ismaïla Sarr CF 19 M'Baye Niang 59 ' 86 ' LF 10 Sadio Mané ( c ) Substitutions : MF 8 Cheikhou Kouyaté 65 ' MF 11 Cheikh N'Doye 90 + 1 ' 81 ' FW 9 Mame Biram Diouf 86 ' Manager : Aliou Cissé Man of the Match : Sadio Mané ( Senegal ) Assistant referees : Elenito Di Liberatore ( Italy ) Mauro Tonolini ( Italy ) Fourth official : Abdulrahman Al - Jassim ( Qatar ) Reserve assistant referee : Taleb Al Maari ( Qatar ) Video assistant referee : Massimiliano Irrati ( Italy ) Assistant video assistant referees : Tiago Martins ( Portugal ) Hernán Maidana ( Argentina ) Paolo Valeri ( Italy ) Poland vs Colombia The two teams had met in five matches, most recently in a 2006 friendly, won by Colombia 2 -- 1. Abel Aguilar was taken from the field on a stretcher in the 32nd minute and was replaced by Mateus Uribe. Shortly after, a cross by James Rodríguez from the right was met by the head of Yerry Mina, who lost his marker to head over Wojciech Szczęsny 's outstretched arms and into the net. Juan Fernando Quintero fired wide from 25 yards at the start of the second half. Cuadrado then squared to Radamel Falcao on the edge of the box who lifted his shot well over the crossbar. In the 58th minute, Robert Lewandowski controlled a long pass only to shoot straight into David Ospina 's midriff as Poland attempted their first shot on target of the game. Quintero 's slide - rule pass presented Falcao with a one - on - one situation and he guided the ball past Szczęsny with the outside of his right foot to double his side 's lead. With 15 minutes left on the clock, James ' pass from the left found Cuadrado in space through the middle and he took a touch before finishing it into the bottom - right corner of the net. Poland were the first European nation to be eliminated from the 2018 World Cup. Including Colombia 's victory against Poland, there were 14 World Cup goals scored on 24 June 2018 - the most on a single day of action in the competition ( maximum 3 games ) since 10 June 1990 ( also 14 ). 24 June 2018 ( 2018 - 06 - 24 ) 21 : 00 MSK ( UTC + 3 ) Poland 0 -- 3 Colombia Report Mina 40 ' Falcao 70 ' Ju.

Yoshinori Muto 's drive forced Łukasz Fabiański to parry, before the goalkeeper smothered a Gōtoku Sakai effort. Eiji Kawashima scooped Kamil Grosicki 's header clear. With just over half an hour remaining, Rafał Kurzawa 's free - kick from the left picked out Jan Bednarek, who volleyed it into the net from six yards out. Maya Yoshida headed well wide from a left - wing corner. Robert Lewandowski steered Grosicki 's pin - point pass over the top. Poland has beat Japan for the first time in an official match, having defeated Japan in four unofficial matches. Poland have won each of their 14 games in which they have scored first in World Cup finals. Poland have kept a clean sheet at the World Cup for the first time since winning 1 -- 0 against Portugal in 1986. On another side, since the new millenia, Poland had repeated their poor performances in 2002 and 2006 World Cups, eliminated after losing two opening matches before grabbing a late victory in the final match. There was some criticism of the final minutes in the game, as both sides appeared to settle for the 1 -- 0 scoreline. 28 June 2018 ( 2018 - 06 - 28 ) 17 : 00 MSK ( UTC + 3 ) Japan 0 -- 1 Poland Report Bednarek 59 ' Volgograd Arena, Volgograd Attendance : 42,189 Referee : Janny Sikazwe ( Zambia ) Japan Poland GK Eiji Kawashima ( c ) RB 19 Hiroki Sakai CB 22 Maya Yoshida CB 20 Tomoaki Makino 66 ' LB 5 Yuto Nagatomo CM 16 Hotaru Yamaguchi CM 7 Gaku Shibasaki RW 21 Gōtoku Sakai AM 9 Shinji Okazaki 47 ' LW 11 Takashi Usami 65 ' CF 13 Yoshinori Muto 82 ' Substitutions : FW 15 Yuya Osako 47 ' MF 14 Takashi Inui 65 ' MF 17 Makoto Hasebe 82 ' Manager : Akira Nishino GK 22 Łukasz Fabiański CB 18 Bartosz Bereszyński CB 15 Kamil Glik CB 5 Jan Bednarek RM 21 Rafał Kurzawa 79 ' CM 10 Grzegorz Krychowiak CM 6 Jacek Góralski LM Artur Jędrzejczyk RF 19 Piotr Zieliński 79 ' CF 9 Robert Lewandowski ( c ) LF 11 Kamil Grosicki Substitutions : FW 14 Łukasz Teodorczyk 79 ' MF 17 Sławomir Peszko 79 ' Manager : Adam Nawałka Man of the Match : Jan Bednarek ( Poland ) Assistant referees : Jerson Dos Santos ( Angola ) Zakhele Siwela ( South Africa ) Fourth official : Ricardo Montero ( Costa Rica ) Reserve assistant referee : Juan Carlos Mora ( Costa Rica ) Video assistant referee : Daniele Orsato ( Italy ) Assistant video assistant referees : Gery Vargas ( Bolivia ) Carlos Astroza ( Chile ) Paolo Valeri ( Italy ) Senegal vs Colombia The two teams had met only once, a 2014 friendly game which ended in a 2 -- 2 draw. The referee awarded Senegal a penalty in the 17th minute. After consulting VAR, he judged that defender Dávinson Sánchez had won the ball before making any contact with Sadio Mané. After half an hour, James Rodríguez was substituted with what appeared to be a recurrence of the injury that kept him out of Colombia 's 2 -- 1 loss to Japan. Mané took a free - kick in the 64th minute which he shot off - target. Kalidou Koulibaly got a touch on a Luis Muriel drive to deflect the ball narrowly wide. And in the 74th minute Colombia scored the decisive goal of the game, Juan Quintero 's corner from the right found Yerry Mina who rose and crashed home a header that went through goalkeeper Khadim N'Diaye. With Senegal being the last African team to be knocked out of Russia 2018, there were no teams from Africa in the Round of 16 for the first time since the stage was introduced in 1986. Colombia were the only team to reach the knockout stages of Russia 2018 despite losing their opening match of the tournament. Senegal became the third team to be eliminated from Russia 2018 despite winning their opening game of the tournament ( also Iran and Serbia ) ; and even moreover, this was the first time Senegal got eliminated from the group stage, despite owning a huge advantage prior to the match against Colombia. The last time as many as three teams failed to get through the group stages despite winning their opener was in 2002 ( Argentina, Costa Rica and Russia ). 28 June 2018 ( 2018 - 06 - 28 ) 18 : 00 SAMT ( UTC + 4 ) Senegal 0 -- 1 Colombia Report Mina 74 ' Cosmos Arena, Samara Attendance : 41,970 Referee : Milorad Mažić ( Serbia ) Senegal Colombia GK 16 Khadim N'Diaye RB 21 Lamine Gassama CB 6 Salif Sané CB Kalidou Koulibaly LB 12 Youssouf Sabaly 74 ' RM 18 Ismaïla Sarr CM 8 Cheikhou Kouyaté ( c ) CM 5 Idrissa Gueye LM 10 Sadio Mané CF 20 Keita Baldé 80 ' CF 19 M'Baye Niang 51 ' 86 ' Substitutions : DF 22 Moussa Wagué 74 ' FW 14 Moussa Konaté 80 ' FW 15 Diafra Sakho 86 ' Manager : Aliou Cissé GK David Ospina RB Santiago Arias CB 23 Dávinson Sánchez CB 13 Yerry Mina LB 17 Johan Mojica 45 ' CM 15 Mateus Uribe 83 ' CM 6 Carlos Sánchez RW 11 Juan Cuadrado AM 20 Juan Fernando Quintero LW 10 James Rodríguez 31 ' CF 9 Radamel Falcao ( c ) 89 ' Substitutions : FW 14 Luis Muriel 31 ' MF 16 Jefferson Lerma 83 ' FW 19 Miguel Borja 89 ' Manager : José Pékerman Man of the Match : Yerry Mina ( Colombia ) Assistant referees : Milovan Ristić ( Serbia ) Dalibor Đurđević ( Serbia ) Fourth official : Bamlak Tessema Weyesa ( Ethiopia ) Reserve assistant referee : Hasan Al Mahri ( United Arab Emirates ) Video assistant referee : Danny Makkelie ( Netherlands ) Assistant video assistant referees : Bastian Dankert ( Germany ) Elenito Di Liberatore ( Italy ) Gianluca Rocchi ( Italy ) Discipline Fair play points, which were used as tiebreakers if the overall and head - to - head records of teams were tied, were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows : first yellow card : minus 1 point ; indirect red card ( second yellow card ) : minus 3 points ; direct red card : minus 4 points ; yellow card and direct red card : minus 5 points ; Only one of the above deductions should be applied to a player in a single match.
