Yuya Osako‘s header gave Japan a 2-1 win over 10-man Colombia in the opening Group H game for both teams at the World Cup on Tuesday.

Osako nodded Keisuke Honda‘s corner home in the 73rd minute at the Mordovia Arena in Saransk.

Colombia’s Carlos Sanchez was shown the first red card of the tournament in the third minute for a deliberate handball, resulting in Shinji Kagawa‘s opening penalty.

Juan Quintero‘s free-kick pulled Colombia level before the break but Osako rose above Santiago Arias to head in off the right post to settle the matter.
