Colombia Takes On Ghana Tonight in Kansas City Round of 32
La Tricolor kicks off the knockout stage at Arrowhead Stadium at 01:30 UTC on July 4, riding a perfect group stage record into the first elimination round.
Colombia enters Saturday's Round of 32 match against Ghana as Group K winners, having gone unbeaten through the group stage with two wins and a draw. The most recent result was a 0-0 draw against Portugal on June 27 in Miami, where goalkeeper Camilo Vargas made two crucial saves to preserve the clean sheet and top spot in the group.
Ghana qualified for the knockout round as runners-up in Group L and will face a Colombian side that has shown defensive discipline alongside attacking quality. Colombia's group stage run included a 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan on June 17 and a 1-0 win over DR Congo on June 23.
Kickoff is set for 01:30 UTC at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. For Colombian fans on the East Coast, that means a late-night watch party starting at 9:30 p.m. Eastern on July 3. A win tonight would mark Colombia's first World Cup knockout-round victory in this tournament and push the team into the Round of 16.
