England started the match on a flyer when Beckham tackled Montano, Neville doing a long pass to Ameobi who crossed the ball to Rooney who scored a nice little goal on the 3rd minute.
On the 11st minute Ameobi was unlucky not to get a goal when he made a shot that hit the bar and then Yepas tacked him and England had to settle for a corner.
But Ameobi got his revenge on the 16th minute when he tackled Yepas and got the ball and ran, beating the offside trap, forced the goalkeeper off his line and he simply chipped the ball over his head and got a goal.
On the 17th minute it went from bad to worst for the South American nation when Yepas got a red card for tripping Rooney.
But Colombia did get something back on the 21st minute when Montano crossed the ball to Molina and he scored a stunner.
The fourth and final goal of the match was for England when Richardson crossed the ball to his teammate Rooney and scored a goal on a tight angle.
A good game for England that was only dampened by Molina's goal.
