Davinson Sanchez produced one of the best defensive moments of the World Cup to help Colombia progress to the knockout stage after a 1-0 win against Senegal on Thursday.
Liverpool's Sadio Mane broke clear into the area and looked certain to score before Davinson slid in to win the ball in front of goal.
Referee Milorad Mazic initially pointed to the penalty spot but decision was overturned by VAR after replays showed Davinson clearly winning the ball.
BBC co-commentator and former Spur Danny Murphy described it as a 'brilliant tackle, the best of the tournament'.
Colombia won the game and Group H thanks to Yerry Mina's header in Volgograd. Japan finished second despite a 1-0 loss against Poland.
Davinson will now wait for Colombia's opponents in the last 16 - but he'll be up against Spurs team-mates either way in England or Belgium.
