Antonine Griezmann - 8
Couldn’t crack open the German defence, but he ‘megged Sami Khedira, so fair play to the lad.
David Luiz - 8
As well as some PlayStation-esque bursts forward, he also hit a superb free-kick from long range which sealed victory for Brazil.
Benedikt Höwedes - 7
Has looked awkward at left-back in this tournament, but the Schalke player turned in a solid defensive performance today.
Karim Benzema - 7
Kept going despite his team-mates failing to click, getting through a lot of running and testing Manuel Neuer. Bonus points for getting back to retrieve a ball he lost, then dribbling past all of the German attack.
Pablo Armero - 7
Provided real forward thrust down Colombia’s left.
Neymar - 7
Didn’t have his usual impact, but never shies away from physical challenges with bigger defenders. Unfortunately, he’s now injured for the rest of the tournament.
James Rodriguez - 6
While generally Colombia’s dangerman, always looking to breach the defence with through balls, he spent too much time whinging to the ref and lost man points for breaking into tears so readily at the final whistle.
Paul Pogba - 5
Amid much fanfare, from former team-mates among others, turned in an incredible flat and unremarkable performance. Not quite a world-beater yet.
Paulinho/Fred - 5
Both responded to criticism by turning in decidedly mediocre performances. Contrast this with Höwedes’ performance earlier on.
Boo to José Pekerman, who failed to bring Jackson Martinez on for Colombia. This was a big deal in Providencia, Santiago.
