That is all we have time for on Tribe as Colombia defeat Spain after a fantastic goal from Crystal Palace full-back Daniel Munoz in the second-half. I have been Elliot Thompson and thank you for joining me. Make sure you tune in with us on Tribe tomorrow for more friendlies between big nations as England take on Brazil and France face Germany.
Next up for Spain is arguably a tougher challenge as they face Brazil in a friendly on Tuesday in Madrid. They will be watching Brazil take on England tomorrow to prepare for what should be an exciting 90 minutes for fans. For Colombia, they have a friendly also on Tuesday against Romania who are preparing for the European Championships so that should be another intense battle as Nestor Lorenzo looks to carry on his unbeaten start to life as Colombian manager.
Spain dominated the first half possession-wise with the closest chance being a header from Vivian who put the ball over the bar from close range. In the second half though they struggled to get any attacks going even though they threw Yamal, Williams and Morata on the pitch. None of them could force Vargas into any trouble with Porro and Grimaldo coming close with shots into the side netting. Not the best 90 minutes from Spain as they look ahead to the European Championships in the summer.
COLOMBIA'S UNBEATEN RUN EXTENDS TO 20 GAMES! What a performance in the second half from the South Americans as they completely dominated Spain with James Rodriguez coming off the bench and making a mammoth impact. He ran the show for Nestor Lorenzo's men as he started the move which got the all-important goal for Colombia. Rodriguez played a long ball into the left channel finding Diaz who ran rings around Vivian before crossing into Munoz. The full-back threw himself at the ball volleying it past Remiro to win his nation the game in London.

SHOT! Porro slides the ball into Grimaldo's path on the left wing from a free-kick. He puts a cross in which falls to Merino after a deflection. The midfielder goes for goal with the side of his left foot but he hits it well over the bar allowing Vargas to take his time with the goal kick.
