Colombia ⁠beat ⁠Ghana 1-0 on Friday to reach the World Cup round of ⁠16, as Jhon Arias scored the only goal ⁠and set up a clash with Switzerland.

Arias struck in the ‌14th minute from close range after a cross from Luis Suarez, who had just come on as a substitute for the ⁠injured Jhon Cordoba. Luis ⁠Diaz thought he had doubled Colombia’s advantage in the 56th minute, but ⁠the goal was ruled out for ⁠offside.
