35 mins
Joe Cole gets the ball brings it forward. He gets a bit too much on the dribble but improves by dinking it through to Owen...


36 mins
GOAL!!!!!

37 mins
...Owen lifts it expertly over the onrushing Mondragon and into the back of the net. It's his 30th goal for England and, somewhat out of nowhere, they are in front

44 mins
Beckham finds Crouch and he slips in Owen on the right with a fine through ball, he's through for a second...

44 mins
GOAL!!! Owen raced clear of static Colombia defence and slid the ball underneath Mondrangon. Two for England


58 mins
Great header from Crouch enables the ball to be worked out wide to Beckham, he works it towards the byline and produces a superb curling ball to the near post...


59 mins
GOAL!!!!!


60 mins
Superb goal from England. Beckham's cross was sublime, the run from Owen intelligent and the powerful finish left Mondragon flat-footed.

73 mins
England take off three:
Peter Crouch, David Beckham and hat-trick hero Michael Owen are replaced by Alan Smith, Jermain Defoe and Saturday's hero against the USA - Kieran Richardson

78 mins
This time Rey leaves it to Benitez, and his left-footed shot crashes back off the wall -
in the form of Smith

82 mins
Jenas goes down, taking a knock in a collision with Smith after both went for a high ball. Looks like an arm in the face from a team-mate! A bit of treatment and he's okay
[tt's not smith's fault]

Score -
England 3 - 2 Columbia
Michael Owen 36, 44, 58

Yepes 45
A. Reminez 79
