  • Assist: Peter Crouch. "... and he had to wait only eight more minutes to move further towards Bobby Charlton's record of 49.

  • "...the England captain will have been even more pained by the nature of Mario Alberto Yepes's goal that made it 2-1 a minute later. Eriksson will want to scrutinise the positioning of David James as Yepes scored with a soft header but part of the blame should be apportioned to Ashley Cole, who allowed the ball to squeeze past him on the goal-line." Mario Yepes, 45'44:17
  • "Colombia continued to pose a threat, and it was no surprise when they pulled a goal back with 12 minutes left, Ramirez firing low past Green at the near post with the aid of a slight deflection." Aldo Leao Ramírez, 79'78:14
