Colombia vs Jordan LIVE Updates: The game is underway! (0-0)

The cooling break has ended, and the game between Colombia and Jordan resumes.

Referee Jesus Lopez Valle has dictaminated the cooling break for the first half.

While controlling possession, sudden bounces on the dry field have caused Colombia to misplace several passes.

Struggling for space behind the line, Luis Díaz finally broke through Jordan's defense but was caught just offside to halt a promising attack.

After a great cross, Suárez cushioned the ball down with his chest to Arias, but the defense blocked the midfielder's shot on Colombia's best chance of the match.

Despite controlling the ball, Colombia is unable to break through a well-positioned Jordan defense in the attacking third.

After early Colombia possession, Jordan nearly scored against the run of play. Abu Taha unleashed a long-range strike that rattled the woodwork, giving the Cafeteros an early scare.

Mexican referee Jesus Rafael Lopez Valle blows his whistle, and the international friendly is underway!

Heading into the tournament with an average roster age of 30.1 years, the third-oldest field behind only Panama and Iran, Nestor Lorenzo is looking to close out a definitive era by guide Colombia to its first-ever World Cup final.

Prior to kickoff, the Argentine manager spoke with reporters and made it clear that tonight's tune-up is the baseline for a deep tournament run: "The aspiration is to reach the final day with a chance in the competition, that is, to reach the final; the aspiration is to get there. We have to fight match by match, and we will start with Jordan, step by step."

Owned by San Diego State University, Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, California, serves as the host venue for today's friendly between Colombia and Jordan. Both the Cafeteros and the Chivalrous are making their first-ever appearance at the 35,000-seat stadium, which serves as the permanent home of the SDSU Aztecs football team, San Diego Wave FC (NWSL), and San Diego FC (MLS).

With FIFA mandating a minimum capacity of 40,000 seats for World Cup group-stage matches, Snapdragon Stadium fell short of the requirements to host games for the upcoming tournament. Instead, Southern California's tournament fixtures will be played nearby at Los Angeles Stadium (SoFi Stadium).

Colombia and Jordan will clash for just the second time in their history, mirroring a familiar scenario: the final stretch before a World Cup. Back on June 6, 2014, ahead of the tournament in Brazil, both nations met in a friendly that ended in a comfortable 3-0 victory for the team then coached by Jose Nestor Pekerman.

In that match, James Rodriguez opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 42nd minute, before Juan Guillermo Cuadrado (83rd) and Fredy Guarin (89th) sealed the win. From that squad twelve years ago, David Ospina, James Rodriguez, Santiago Arias, Juan Fernando Quintero, and Camilo Vargas remain active with the Colombian national team, looking to replicate that positive result against Jordan tonight.

With only three changes from the game against Switzerland, coach Jamal Sellami picked his eleven players to face Colombia from the start (5-3-2): Yazeed Abu Laila; Ehsan Haddad, Abdallah Nassib, Yazan Alarab, Saleem Obaid, Mohannad Abu Tah; Nizar Al-Rashdan, Noor Al-Rawabdeh, Mousa Al-Tamari; Odeh Fakhoury, Ali Olwan.

In comparison with the game against Costa Rica, head coach Nestor Lorenzo decided to go all-out with his star lineup (4-2-3-1): Camilo Vargas; Daniel Muñoz, Davinson Sánchez, Jhon Lucumí, Johan Mojica; Jefferson Lerma, Gustavo Puerta; Jhon Arias, James Rodriguez, Luis Díaz; Luis Suarez.

The game between Colombia and Jordan will kick off at 7 PM (ET).
