Japan were the initiators to open the scoring through Kaoru Mitoma three minutes after the start, but John Duran levelled the score for Colombia in the 3rd minute, before Bori scored the winning goal in stunning fashion.
This is Colombia's second game of the current international break, having already overturned a two-goal deficit against South Korea to draw 2-2 at Ulsan Stadium last Friday.
