There we go, Japan become the first Asian team to beat a South American side at a World Cup at the 18th attempt!

It was a contest shaped entirely by the third-minute red card dished out, rightly, to Sanchez.

Kagawa netted the penalty before Quintero's cute free kick pulled the scores level five minutes before half time.

Japan made most of the second half running, though, and were rewarded when Osako headed in the winner with 17 minutes remaining.

That's a huge win in a competitive group, with Senegal facing Poland next.

90+5' A minute left to pull something goal-shaped out of the hat.

90+1' And Colombia are applying some late pressure. Can Japan handle it?

87' That was a lousy late tackle on Haraguchi.

Colombia are running on empty here.

86' Continuing the theme of departing goalscorers, Osako takes his leave as the clock runs down.

Shinji Okazaki comes on to grace a third World Cup as he reaches his 114th cap.

80' Gaku Shibashaki trudges off, low-five-ing the incoming Hotaru Yamaguchi as he does so.

Ten minutes for Colombia to pull this out of the fire.

79' Colombia have sparked into life and force successive corners, with Rodriguez denied only by a block from the flying Osako.

74' Osako!

Finally they earn some reward for their pressure since the break as the Bundesliga-based forward rises to head a corner kick past Ospina. 

The corner came after their best move of the half as the late-arriving Sakai had his shot deflected behind at close quarters, following impressive hold-up play from the eventual marksman. 

71' Veteran Keisuke Honda replaces Kagawa, so both goalscorers have now left us.

For Colombia, Jose Izquierdo is hooked for Carlos Bacca.

69' And they can't get out of their own half for love nor money. 

It's a big defensive effort which could come back to haunt them in the dying stages.
