Senegalese manager Aliou Cisse made 3 changes from the team that drew 2-2 against Japan, with Moussa Wague, the right-back who grabbed a goal against Japan replaced by Lamine Gassama. The next 2 changes were in midfield, with Alfred N’Diaye and Badou N’Diaye dropped to the bench, with Cheikhou Kouyate and Keita Balde Diao coming in as Senegal switch a 4-1-4-1 formation into a very attacking 4-4-2 formation that has plenty of counter-attacking threat with the dribbling ability and pace of Sarr, Niang, Balde and Mane.
Colombia made 2 changes from the team that demolished Poland 3-0 with both Carlos Sanchez (returning after serving his ban after his red card against Japan) and Mateus Uribe linking up together in the Colombian midfield, replacing Wilmar Barrios and Abel Aguilar.
