Meanwhile, Brazil held off Colombia's strong and often overly physical effort to stay in the Cup. Thiago Silva scored for the home country in the 7th minute, while David Luiz scored in the 69th minute. James Rodriguez scored a late goal in the 80th minute for Colombia.

Silva, Brazil's captain, was later given a yellow card and will miss the semifinals against Germany.

The World Cup continues on Saturday with quarterfinal matches between Argentina vs. Belgium (noon/11c, ABC) and Netherlands vs. Costa Rica (4/3c, ESPN).
