Colombia did it all and Greece did it late. Both teams are advancing to the Round of 16 at the 2014 World Cup.

With the goals and celebrations still flowing, Colombia defeated Japan 4-1 at Arena Pantanal on Tuesday to secure the top spot in Group C. As those teams tangled in Cuiaba, Greece and the Ivory Coast faced off at Estadio Castelao in Fortaleza. Greece benefitted from a penalty decision by the referee in stoppage time to advance into the Round of 16 as the runner-up in Group C.
