Colombia beat Ivory Coast 2-1 in yet another action-packed World Cup clash on Thursday to top Group C.

After a tight first half the game exploded into life with three goals in nine minutes midway through the second.

James Rodriguez thumped in a header from a 64th-minute Juan Cuadrado corner.

Juan Quintero ran clear to make it 2-0 after 70 minutes after Rodriguez intercepted an Ivorian clearance but Gervinho cut in through three defenders to score an excellent individual goal three minutes later to halve the deficit.
