AI match recap
Colombia come into this knockout tie looking more settled, with better rhythm through the group stage and a clearer attacking structure. Ghana have enough athleticism and pace to make the game uncomfortable, especially if Partey can launch counters early, but they need much more from their front line than they have shown so far. The biggest themes are Colombia's control in central midfield and the threat Luis Díaz brings whenever the match opens up. Expect a tense knockout match rather than a chaotic one, with patience and defensive discipline likely deciding it.
