Colombia vs. England will be one of the most evenly matched matches for the round of 16 in Russia 2018. This match will face two quality forwards such as Colombian Radamel Falcao and Englishman Harry Kane. The Spartak Stadium will witness this tough confrontation where both will wear the number '9' on their backs.

For this match, Falcao comes with a goal in the tournament so far. He scored it in the match where Colombia defeated Poland 3-0. A decisive match for the South Americans after losing to Japan. The 'Tiger' appeared to score the second goal at 70' against the Europeans.

'Hurri' Kane comes from a different scenario. The Englishman is the top scorer of the World Cup with five goals in three matches. In the opening match against Tunisia, the forward scored a brace for the victory of the 'Three Lions' over the Africans, 2-1. To secure qualification for the round of 16, Kane was the author of a hat-trick in the 6-1 victory over Panama in the second match of Group G in the World Cup.

In addition to the previous data, it should be added that both are the captains of their national teams. That is, the influence will not only be at a tactical level for these two players, but also at a mental level when their teammates need them. South Americans and Europeans will define the last team to qualify for the quarterfinals this Tuesday.
