Uzbekistan 1-2 Colombia
Too much on the corner once again and it sails behind for a goal-kick.
Uzbekistan just haven't got that delivery right at all tonight.

The Colombia corner isn't properly cleared and it's set for Davinson Sanchez to have a go but he can only find the side netting.
Defenders finish, that.

Uzbekistan have been a completely different team in this second half. There's a lot more intent to them and it's been great to see.
I wouldn't count them out of getting an equaliser here either. They're pushing.

BBC Sport journalist
Colombia made a winning return to the World Cup by defeating debutants Uzbekistan, with former Liverpool forward Luis Diaz and Crystal Palace defender Daniel Munoz among the goalscorers.
After failing to qualify for the 2022 competition, Colombia secured a victory at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City to move top of Group K.
Munoz scored the first goal with a superb volley at full stretch when he connected with a fine pass forwards from Diaz, who had earlier hit the post.
Uzbekistan, coached by Italian World Cup-winning defender Fabio Cannavaro, equalised in the 60th minute through Abbosbek Fayzullaev's close-range header after Colombia goalkeeper Camilo Vargas had parried Eldor Shomurodov's effort.
But the South Americans quickly regained their lead with Diaz's strike going in despite Utkir Yusupov in the Uzbekistan goal getting two hands to the ball.
Uzbekistan, 50th in the world rankings, nearly made it 2-2, but Akmal Mozgovoy curled a shot just wide in the 90th minute, before Colombia substitute Jaminton Campaz headed in a third goal late on.
There was still time for Uzbekistan's Jakhongir Urozov to hit the crossbar as Colombia took the three points.
For Diaz, who helped Liverpool win the Premier League in 2024-25 before moving to Bayern Munich in a £65.5m move last summer, his goal was his first in a World Cup.
It came after an excellent first season at Bayern, in which he scored 15 goals and provided 14 assists to help them win the German league and cup double.
Portugal drew 1-1 with DR Congo in the group's other game.
Uzbekistan face Portugal on Tuesday (18:00 BST), before Colombia take on DR Congo (Wednesday, 03:00 BST).
