England and Colombia are 0-0 at halftime at Spartak Stadium in a match that will determine which team fills the last spot in the World Cup quarterfinals.
The half ended contentiously when Colombia's Wilmar Barrios appeared to head butt Jordan Henderson while the players were forming a wall for a free-kick. Referee Mark Geiger subsequently showed Barrios a yellow card.
England had the better attacking opportunities but failed to really test David Ospina in the Colombian goal. Jesse Lingard fired over the bar for England from a good position near the end of the half.
